Re: [AMC-list] 86 camanche info

The GM 2.8 flexplate is different from the Jeep 2.8 flexplate (different transmissions) Same with the rare 4 cyl AW4 trans (I found one in a junkyard that has been sitting on a shelf for 20 years and they STILL want $1000 for it!) Mopar used hydraulic 4 speed autos '88 to '92 then electronic '93 up (only the valve body controller)
   The 2.8 in my '86 MJ project (actually, my room mate's MJ now) was 5 speed. AX-5 with either NP207 or NP231.

hmmm...  were they all 4sp, or stick?  when did mopar start using
electronic autos?
 
" The XJ/MJs saw the good 2.8 in the last month or so of production.
" They came with zero balanced flexplates and Jeep used to have the
" plate part number to go with crate motors swapped in.
 
sweet!  though the 3.4 crate longblock is now out of production...
 
did any get manual trannies?
 
i -think- an '87-up s10 2.8 flywheel would work.  the camaro 2.8/3.4
won't; it's too thick.
