need transfer case for TJ will an XJ TC fit? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Ls7colorado · 05-04-2012, 02:22 PM

Ive got a 2000 TJ 5 speed 4.0, The TC is shot and im not finding any from a TJ

There are ALOT in the yards around here from XJ's but no TJ's..
All the XJ's are automatic....?

Any help would be great.

It will be a lot of work switching from a manual to an auto. I just did it on my YJ, that was going from an AX15 to an AW5. I didn't use the computer, so that made it easier. I'm not sure if it would be the exact same or not. There is a post on here about the swap, not from to long ago either. To do what I did you'll need the AW5, shift cables, TV cable, flex plate, ring for the flex plate, bolts for it, shifter, and you'll have to clock your t-case.

I was just planing on swaping the transfer case, not the transmission.

I need to know if a transfer case from a xj automatic will fit a TJ 4.0 5 speed?

sorry for the confusion

He's looking for a transer case, not a transmission...

Edit: OP, I missed your responce. What's wrong with your T/C?...

The tcase from an xj is clocked differently then a tcase in a tj/yj. What is wrong with your tcase? They are very easy to rebuild with just basic tools. May be easier to just rebuild yours.

Unless the main casing is damaged it's easier to rebuild yours, all internal parts are available at good prices from lots of sources, start at Morris4x4.com to compile a list of what you need then shop around, to give you an idea of how much you save shopping around, an Alloy USA tc chain is usually $110, I got mine, same brand & part number for $53, it pays to do the research

main case has dozens of hairlne cracks and is leaking fliud out all over it, Im gussing it stressed the case when the gears shredded
