ridenlow12 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 do you think I should just suffer with the 4sp until I do the 4.0 swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 do you think I should just suffer with the 4sp until I do the 4.0 swap? it's worth the suffering IMO. you will get from A to B much faster... as you wish though. I literally know nothing about the 2.5 and 2.8 autos...excpet thhey're pigs and i wouldn't want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The avaliable trannies aren't great either. Do the 4.0 swap with a matching AW4. Life will be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 You can put an AW4 behind a 2.5......you just have to locate the uber-rare bellhousing, and you need the correct torque converter. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
