PEEJ Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Trying to get all my ducks in a row before I start my swap and have a couple of questions for you guys thats allready done it.Looking at the XJ rearend it looks like the top spring pads have to be removed do to u-bolt interferance.Also unlike the MJ shock mounts,The XJ mounts are welder to the axle.Also when going from 5speed to auto trans. whats involved in removing the clutch pedal.(I know a torch or saw saw will do it but looking for a cleaner way)Haven't looked at this matter good yet,Thought I'd take the easy way out and ask first.Also has anyone swapped in the straight wider pad auto. brake pedal in place of the offset narrow pad 5sp. brake pedal?Also I saw a post somewhere on here where a member built a jig to set his new spring pads on his XJ axle and keep his pinion angle correct prior to welding.Could use some help finding this post.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Get an auto from the JY and swap out the pedal assembly. I did the opposite. Went from Auto to 5sp. Pretty easy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
