minydigger Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I recently stabbed a 94 4.0L into my truck for time and money sake I left the 2wd trans on the motor. I need to know what transmissions will bolt up to my engine(what years)to make it 4wd and it is an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiscus Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I didn't think you could bolt up an 86 trans to a 4.0L??? Are you sure you don't have an 87? (or am I wrong about the first year of the 4.0L?) Any tranny that came behind a 4.0L will bolt on with minimal mods, if any. (Peugot, AW4, AX15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tranny that came behind a 4.0L will bolt on with minimal mods, if any. (Peugot, AW4, AX15) he means he left the 2wd 4.0 trans on the 4.0 motor. he put it in the truck it appears. that 4.0 swap is fairly easy to do and offers much more power than the 2.8 or the 2.5. minnydigger, if you want to stay auto, get an aw4 out of a cherokee that is near the same year as the engine and harness. they don't vary much, and any variations are purely computer-related.

minydigger Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah its a aw4 behind it right now its just a 2wd unit. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any breaks in the aw4 so it wouldn't bolt up to the 4.0L I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 you could actually probably get away with getting the transfer case and rear housing from an aw4 and then you wouldn't have to remove your tranny from the truck. it would have to be the same spline though, so idk if that would work or not...i may be completely wrong. but just swap in a 4wd aw4 it's all the same. so do you have any images of your truck online here? i see it looks like it's got some monster claws on it and rims... p.s. i'm swapping an aw4 into my 95 xj because the tranny and torque converter took a sh*t. so i'll have tcase and the parts from it if you're interested.

carnuck Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 You have to dismantle the AW4 to put the 4x4 output shaft in. (it goes in from the front) I'm on the AMC list and can post an ad for you on there to swap for a 4x4 trans. LOTS of them are looking for an O/D 2wd auto for their AMC cars.

JeepcoMJ Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 yea but then you have a ford part...i hate ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Actually, since it's made by New Process, it isn't Ford. (Borg Warner however IS Ford!) Mopar spun off New Process into the company now called New Venture gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar spun off New Process into the company now called New Venture gear. ok. that makes a project like that okay to me...but then the next thing i'll say is that if you are just trying to get your 4wd to work, going stock makes the most sense...all the parts are ready made and readily available (except perhaps the rear driveshaft). the divorced tcase doesn't offer any extra structural integrity or any advantages in my belief. to put one in you'd have to have custom driveshafts front and rear, a custom intermediate shaft, custom crossmember for the divorced tcase, with a custom rubber mount for the t case, followed by custom linkages to work. and if you removed the tailshaft of the 2wd tranny to make it work, then you'd need a custom speedo drive. all in all, i think the best bet is to ALWAYS go stock, make your improvements from there.

minydigger Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 I would prefer to go back stock as this is my D/D while I'm swapping in the 8.8 in my grand. There is a pic of it on here somewhere http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/view ... highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 man we gotta see more pics of that truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minydigger Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 No good pics yet I got it stuck on less than a wheel barrel load of sand in my parents back yard, so 4wd is on the top of my list of stuff to do soon and a LSD for the 8.8. I have 2 4wd trucks and both aren't 4wd right now it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
