All Kinds Of A Swap, Mainly Auto To Manual

[Mattwheels]

So I'm getting close to the end of my 89 > 92 swap and Have a couple questions. So I'm going from an AW4 to an AX15 and I know a couple things I need to pick up are the manual 4x4 drive shafts. But the crossmember is one thing I'm thinking about.

 

So I have a crossmember from a 2x4 manual cherokee, and the comanche aw4 cross member. The Manual one seems to be too big by overhanging the "frame" Is this normal?

 

I have managed to kind of squeeze on the aw4 cross member but I feel like its pushing my motor forward on the motor mounts, and it was a huge PITA to get on. I'll try and add some photos tomorrow

 

Is there a difference between a 4x4 and 2x4 crossmember?

 

And does anyone have good vacuum diagrams for a 92 engine, as well as Electrical? I have a single Yellow wire I can't seem to place near the distributor.

The cross members weren't different between drives, but between transmissions. The aw-4, Peugeot and I believe the ax-4/5 all shared the same cross member, while the ax-15 had it's own. You can use a crossmember from any of the mentioned transmissions with an ax-15, with a 3/4 inch t-case drop kit. What do you mean overhanging the frame, it's being pushed too far out on the sides? Or it's lower than the other cross members?

here's what my passenger side.looks like with the aw4 comanche cross member hooked up

 

 

And my driver side looks fine, all the bolts line up just getting it on the truck took persuasion

With the new cross member in it sits perfect, now to find drive shafts
