Cabz Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 For those who want an AW4 but don't want to have to swap wiring. Check out this neat little toy :D http://www.awshifting.com/new.htm
MISFIT Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 i have a TC lockup switch and a dial for the shifting on my AW4. but i like that nifty little piece alot better.
pingpong Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Nice concept, but I thought the point of running an auto was so you didnt have to shift :? The only thing I would change on my auto is the ability to go from low to reverse for those near endo situation. I got a ? while we are on the subject of aw4's, has anyone converted a column shifted one to a floor shifter using an aftermarket shifter? Patrick
BrettM Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Nice concept, but I thought the point of running an auto was so you didnt have to shift :? what, you can't chew gum and walk at the same time? :wink: :P I always get annoyed by how auto trannies shift, never at the right time or hunting between gears. However they are great for rock-crawling, so I made the best of both worlds.
pingpong Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Brett, No I am not a very good multi tasker so chewing gum and walking at the same time is not an option :wink: NO if you can find a way to do that joystick thing with reverse and the 1-2 shift I would definately be intersted in that :D Most of the time my wheel speed rarely gets fast enough for it to make that shift, and when it does, it is cause I am flogging it, and need the wheel speed. BTW seen a small pic of your rig in one of those Mags.. good job
Cabz Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 Brett ...... Can I get a discount for advertiseing? :D I am thinking about the swap for a few reasons 1. ax15's are difficult to find 2. bad knees and clutches don't play well together 3. the AW4 is probably the most bullet proof auto trans I have ever seen. I have seen them beat to snot , overheated and spanked for days on end and never complain. Brett if you could make a shifter or device that would allow full auto for a swap in setup you would probably make a ton of $ especialy if you don't have to rewire the whole jeep to do so. I know several people that would love to run the AW4 in YJ's & TJ's and just think of rebuilding an old CJ with a newer 4.0 and AW4 :shock: :D :D
MISFIT Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Brett. i just bought davidt's (from naxja) manche. i don't really like the dial setup that's in the truck right now. i was thinking of the joystick, but where do i mount it??? where do ya have yours??? thanks.
