A-999 late model Transmissions

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WRANGLER  95-02  3 SP

RWD/4X4  L6 4.0L  32RH  A999

Tom - the above is the Data I gleaned

off www.google.com .

The A-999 is :

RWD = Rear Wheel Drive

4X4 = comes with a transfer case

This is a non-electric trans. as

it doesn't have an 'E', say 32RE -

instead it has the H being Hydraulic

operation.

The thing here is you can have an A-999

and if you want the 2WD only - have your

Trans. Man - swap the tailshaft from a

2wd 904.

The A-999 of newer vintage is a much

refined item over the old 904s and comes

with HD parts whereas the 904 is very

light weight. 

Builders who beef the 904 - use the 999

internals - but their results having a weaker case as

the A-999 case, which is cast with extra bracing

and webbing is a better way to go.

As to purchasing from one of the www.car-parts.com

yards - , Wranglers have a tendency to roll over and

perform badly in emergency road manuvers, leading

to crashes.  In one Rhode Island yard, the majority

of their JEEP stock are wrecks involving tip overs

and roll overs.........

That said,  there is a goodly stock of A-999 transmissions

with low mileage on them - just do the contacting and

speak with the yard.  Many of the yards have been

with www.car-parts.com for years - so ask about

any 90 day etc. return policies up front.

I've become wary of interchanges outside my area of personal

experience; I just don't have the data nor experience to know what

fits, nor the time or money to try-and-see with big parts like

transmissions.

I know I sound stupid, but I honestly don't know what "late model

wrangler" means. Can you give an example year?  New enough to have

"low" mileage, say 50,000 or less, means it's got to be < 10 years

old. That's 1995. Aren't those riddled with computers and smog

interlocks and lockup converters that want interface to other systems?

If it's old enough to be non-electronic, eg. 1980's, then it's likely

got a lot of miles.
