Stu-offroad has a nice write up on AW-4 install in a TJ......

You'll need the TCU plugs on the tranny and I think the XJ TCU. All the wiring will be cut and tapped into the TJ harness. I wanna do the same thing to my TJ but with a blown 4.0L...I'm going 5.3L/4L60E

i got an aw4, you ever find any info on other shifter then the stock one...ive seen a few but none that seemed decent.

I think BrettM's box takes away the use of the XJ TCU. Instead of the TCU sending the signals to shift, you use the AW4 shifter to control the shifts....Manually shifting an automatic.

i planned on getting his box but it is no longer made. he said till new years but i guess that changed. dont know what to do? guess make my own? simple contraption just a pain on the first one i bet.
