Im a true Jeeper as in.. if something breaks UPGRADE. Well my auto tranny is going out in my 97 TJ sooooo...

Do I move up to an AW4 from say a 2001xj (install kit is around 450 buks) or just rebuild my Torque flight.

Does the AW4 have a lower first Gear than the stock tj auto? What is the overdrive ratio?

Checked into using a 700R tranny but the adapters etc are like nearly double the price of the AW4 install.

I have an Atlas II

Thanks in advance

Coach, I'm in the middle of the AW4 instrall into my 97 TJ.
It does seem that difficult. I'm doing it all myself.
Email me if you want details.
I'm going from a manual to t he AW4 it might be a bit easier for you.

cool keep me informed...

I was planning this cause it looked like my tranny was going out...
Found out tranny is fine.. the CLUNKKKK we thought was tranny was a bad Tera control arm slipping in and out.

hah same thing happened to me....

Anyways I'd like to get some info on the AW4 installation, and any info on the 700r4. Thanks :D

I worked several hours yesterday on her and her sex change is complete. He no longer has a stick, so I quess it’s a she now. She is now sporting an AW4 from a 2001 XJ. Maybe I should call here XTJ.

I finished around 7:00 last night, so after a quick dip in the pool (it was 104) we took her out for a drive. We had a hard time getting around the corner. The sucker wouldn’t shift up or down on its own. Then it hit me! I left the trans computer on the work bench. A quick u turn and 5 minutes later we were on our way to get ice cream.

It has very good acceleration and shifts great. I’ll play with it a little more after work today. The drive shaft is real close to complete compression. I’ve only got about an inch, so I ‘m kind of babying her. I’m hoping that the LA lift I’ll start to install next week will make up for that. If not it is off to the driveline shop.

I took lots of pictures. Eventually I put up a web page showing just how it was done for anyone interested.

And yes, yes I do put my foot on the clutch( that is no longer there) every time I stop.

:D

I look forward to the pics..
