A: And then again, you could go with the Peugeot BA 10/5 which is car geared and mine is surprisingly strong! (it was rebuilt by Jeep at the cost of $1800 by the PO of the truck I pulled it from) No noises out of the ordinary yet and romping 200 HP against 3.73 gears and 33" tires, it has taken a fair share of abuse. It's coming out soon only because it is 2WD and my wife can no longer drive stick (they took a fair sized Japanese rock garden out of her left knee yesterday! 2 of the boulders were 1" in diameter!) The trans, driveshaft yoke, bellhousing, flywheel and hydraulic clutch assembly will all be for sale once I giterdone. (hoping for the upcoming tues/wed days off since the weather has been so nice, but the last 2 were shut down with injuries and doctor trips) From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FW: Jeep 4.0 in an American? " From: farna@xxxxxxx " " " You can use any 72 or later transmission, but you're better off " to use the Jeep trans that comes with the engine. 2WD versions " are pretty common down south, and the AW4 automatic is as bullet " proof an auto trans as you can find (at least behind sixes and " small V-8s -- Lexus V-8 models use it but have a couple more " clutch discs than the 4.0L application). If you use a trans that " wasn't designed for the 4.0L you either have to modify the bell " for a CPS (crankshaft position sensor) and flexplate for the TF " converter if an auto. HESCO makes a $250 or so kit to move the " CPS to the balancer (includes a new balancer machined for the " sensor) now, which makes things much easier. Advance Adapters has " one that's a bit cheaper, but only for the 90+ HO engines. HESCO " makes one for the 87-90 Renix system and 90+ HO. tundras also use a beefed version of the aw4. if you want a stick and stay with the stock bell, you don't need to hunt up a 2wd ax15. toyota also used aisin-warner trannies, and the r154 used in early-mid '90s turbo supras is basically a close-ratio ax15. they're supposedly also cheap and in good supply as they don't break when the rest of the car does. you'd need a toyota-spline clutch disk. a tundra's - almost 10" - might work, but i bet centerforce has one too, for the folks who swap v8s into landcruisers. the r154 has a 0.590" pilot, same as the peugeot and early ax15, so you're alright there, and its input shaft is only a touch shorter. and of course a toyota output yoke. wouldn't surprise me if you can find ones that take std. spicer u-joints, simplifying the driveshaft situation... unless it puts the shifter too far back. then you might want to hunt a junk 2wd ax15, for the mainshaft and tail housing, and have a tranny shop put them into the r154. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
