tranny question?

[Belto]

I know its not an MJ but

 

would a 98 ZJ non 4x4 tranny bolt on to my 95 XJ 4x4?

1.

 

4x4 and 2wd trannies have different output shafts, and tail housings.

 

so, a 2wd can't be swapped with a 4x4 if you want to maintain 4x4.

 

2.

 

the zj must have the same motor in order for this to work.

[Belto]

so I can swap it but loose the 4x4? and yes it has the same motor

technically you can, but you'll need a 2wd rear driveshaft.

 

why do you want to get rid of the 4wd

[Belto]

I don't its just that my tranny died and well I can get a 37k miles tranny out of a friends wrecked ZJ for cheap and any other part that I want.. I don't really use the 4x4.. so IDK maybe is an option

[Belto]

also would the electrical connections work?

[JeepcoMJ]

should.

 

but, i wouldn't bother. it's not worth it, it devalues your vehicle, and a rear driveshaft will cost you $100.

 

you're better off spending that $$$ on a different tranny that's 4x4.

[Belto]

would the ZJ rear driveshaft work on the xj?

[JeepcoMJ]

resounding no.

 

buy a 4x4 trans, or buy a 2wd xj driveshaft. either way, you will be out more money than you want to. there's only one way to do it right...replace it with the same part.
