Manual for Auto swap info

[fendermb4]

Can anyone point me towards a write up or some info on swapping in an AW4 in place of my AX-15?

 

I'm looking for a shopping list - but any process info would be great too.

 

Thanks!

The best info will be a factory service manual.

 

You will need the tranny, the tranny computer, the tranny mount (the cross member is the same, but the mount is different), and the tranny shift linkage. If you have an AX-15 you should have a 23-spline output, so your transfer case should bolt up to most AW4s unless you get a very early one.

 

Obviously, you'll need a flex plate (flywheel). Be sure you get the right one for your year electronics. The ones from the Chrysler years won't trigger the Renix CPS properly, and vice versa.

 

I'm not certain, but I believe you'll have to adjust the length of your rear drive shaft.

AX15 drive shaft is shorter than auto. Easiest way would be to buy an AJ parts car and get everything except the drive shaft. This way there is no prob with tracking down parts. You can even con to 4x4 if you need or want to.

I found an easier way to do the switch...just swap the entire vehicle!

make sure you find a reputable writeup which includes the tag *give the ax-15 once removed to razrwild* :D

Dang. I'll have a rolling parts MJ ('89 2WD) complete with 4 speed as soon as my son and I get the motor, radiator, and alarm system out of it. I'll just want it to disappear ($0). But there is the small problem of a continent between us.

wonder how much the postal service charges if you put a stamp on the windshield

$1,000 (I've done it)
