uplandhawaii Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Aloha All, I've got a quick question. I'm doing a tranny swap in my 88 MJ. I'm going from the Peugeot to 96' AW4. I have all the hardware and manual shifter from BrettM. I need to know if I need to change out the pilot bearing? If I do what do I ask for at the parts store? A bearing from a 96'? This is the last stage in my 2wd to 4wd conversion. Everything else is bolted in and ready to go. Any help would be appreciated! BIG Mahalo's! upland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I believe so. Best bet would to be take a caliper and measure where the bearing needs to sit and measure the shaft size. I remember reading somewhere about using an older CJ bearing that had the proper sizes, but I don't have a link to that, and I don't have any sizes or more info.

pingpong Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I don't think you need a pilot bushing for an automatic. At least I don't remember seeing one last time I pulled one. :? You might have to change your flywheel to make it work. I think they are different parts... actually I am almost positive. :shock: I hope you got a TCM for the tranny as well, as a tps for an automatic.

87manche Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 DOH! :!: I didn't read that properly, I thought this was a BA-10 to AX-15 deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uplandhawaii Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for the help guys. I have the complete tranny/t-case along with all the computers, linkages, etc. The manual controller from Brett does away with the computer and electronic stuff, so no worries there. Does anyone have a FSM where they can look to see if a pilot bearing is listed for the auto or is that strictly for the manual? I've only had manual XJ & MJ's. This is the first auto I'll have. I remember reading somewhere about using an older CJ bearing that had the proper sizes, but I don't have a link to that, and I don't have any sizes or more info. I remeber that link but I can't find it. I used these 2 as references, neither states using a pilot bearing with the auto, only removal of the bearing. http://www.thebassetts.us/Jeep/AW4/AW4_files/page0005.htm http://stu-offroad.com/engine/aw4/intro.htm upland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uplandhawaii Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for the confirmation, I just read that in a thread on JU. I guess I'm good to go for the swap. :D Hopefully there will be no major problems. BIG Mahalo's! upland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnuck Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm doing the same swap on my '88 Comanche (from BA 10/5 to AW4) as soon as I can find someplace I can work on it! I REALLY miss my garage in the house I just sold! I just caught heck for checking the oil in my wife's car at the apartment we are in now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
