ownedueasy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 ok I'm planning on converting my 92 mj from 2x4 to 4x4, and was wondering how hard it would be to swap to automatic while I'm at it? and what all would be needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Look for a donor with and automatic. AX5? you have a 2.5? You also need to buy a heavy duty trailer.......you'll need something to haul around all that regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Buy a complete donor and park it beside the MJ. Save many trips running back and forth tween the house and JY. The rear drive shaft will need modified. Everything else will be a unbolt, move, bolt back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think we need more info. 4 cyl/2.8 V6 (AX5 std trans) or 6 cyl? (AX15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Considering it's '92, I highly doubt there's a 2.8 in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The 2.5 auto is rare. I've seen one for sale in nearly three years that I've been watching. I doubt you'll find one, but if you do, get a WHOLE donor and work your way through it, you'll know what goes and what does not. Further, if you do find one, the rear will not match the gear in yours.....so you'll want to find a 4.10 D30. Chances are you'll find a XJ before you'll find an MJ.....2.5 auto. You'll need a drive shaft too......I'm sure of it..... You'd be better off with a 94 XJ as a donor with an AX5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 http://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/4324376846.html You'll need the flex plate for the 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Use searchtempest.com No 88 2.5s of any kind in a 400 mile radius of me. They are not easy to find. 2.5 2WD are far more common. You want a 2.5 4X auto...........needle in a haystack. Only 2.5 autos I've seen for sale are 85-88s.......I've not seen a 90+........doesn't mean they are not out there, just never seen one.

carnuck Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 no extra wires, or anything? Neutral safety switch and the auto shifter and passing gear linkage. Too bad there is no hookup to put a 700R4 from an S10 with 2.8L or 3.2? The matchup between the XJ flexplate and 2.5L crank is the question. '87 up 2.8L-3.4L V6s are zero balanced like the 2.5L which are unlike the earlier 2.8 that is externally balanced. I don't know if the flexplate from the V6 would bolt to the 2.5L crank or how you could put the 2.5L tone ring on it to run the EFI. Perhaps the 2.5L Renix flexplate is the correct offset to fit the 700R4 converter with new holes drilled to bolt it up?Too many I don't knows there for me.
