Pulled The Trigger....

[zagscrawler]

Hello all..  Its been a while since I posted here but I finally started the 2xstandard to 4xautomatic conversion..  Also I have now lifted it about 6-7 inches and am running 35" km2's with 410 geared 8.25 locked up, a hp non-disco dana 30 up front.  Ive moved the front axle about 1.5" forward with custom chromoly upper and lower arms, custom chromo track bar. The crossover steering is going to be make this week.  I just finished installing the aw-4 and 231 t-case and have a few brackets and the shifter assembly to install this week.  The main question I have is there anyone with first hand experience with splicing in the '95 trans harness into the 88 harness.  I have computer (trans) and the entire harness from the '95. I could really care less about the spedo or the 4x4 indicator light to be honest.  Also if someone wouldn't mind sending me a private message about how to upload photos to this site that would be great.  Any and all help will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

ParadiseMJ has gone from a Peugeot BA-10 to an AW4 from a 1994 - but he has run into problems with shifting and/or torque converter lock-up. He is looking for help in tracking down the cause - his thread title is "Facing My Weakness - Electrics".

Maybe both you guys should add "BA-10 swap to late model AW4" to your thread titles?

Thanks for the link pete. ill be showing this bad boy off before you know it..  also thanks Oyaji ill look through the thread to see if it offers any help.   I also posted on NAXJA within a very technical thread around the aw-4.  The OP states that this combo will work in my truck but I'm assuming it was meant toward the fact of mine being 4x4 already... so we will see what comes of that and if anything good comes I will be sure to pass it on to Paradise. Worst case I hear the stand alone trans comp will allow you make this a sort of manual valve body if needs be.  Not the greatest news but still one less action compared to the og cluch 5 spd. lol  This combo will hit the road I swear it one way or another :fs1:  Thanks again guys

:rotf:  well it looks like paradise beat me to it.. I just noticed that he had posted in the exact same thread (granted with more specific ?'s then mine) earlier.  Now I'm crossing my toes that this has been bone before with good results.  here's an other one.  my truck being originally 2wd would the harness have all the required plugs if I were to be using the same year aw-4 and t-case? if I remember right there was only one four wire plug when I pull the old ba-10...

It is becoming better results.  Had I not just jumped off the deep end without doing my homework on the wiring, I'd be better off.  It's been frustrating, BUT I trusted that the wiring harness was more complete.

I'm glad to hear that to be honest.  I'm familiar with wiring and hoped it would be as simple as cut and crimp or solder you know but it looks like there might be a bit more to it.  the time and know how are there just need to know if its possible in the first place.  Good luck with yours Paradise if I learn anything along the way I will be sure to pass it on.

So Paradise was your mj 4wd originally? It looks like I have two wires (four wire connecter w\two wires jumped) that was og for the ba10, assuming these are simple things like reverse lights and maybe some sort of speed sensor? Or maybe both for reverse lights? lol to be honest I haven't even looked at the old trany to see where the wires went.. that would be smarter I'm sure.
