Well thought I'd go ahead and put my hunk of junk out there. It's a 96 ZJ that came from the factory with the I6, 42re and a d35. Notice no TC or front axle. Thats why my pockets are quickly emptying.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/7.jpg

I've began the process of making my junk 4wd, hopefully putting in a hp30 to make the swap worthwhile.

Got the majority of parts, just waiting on an OD unit, front DS, and minor little things.

Ok, I know I'm a noob and am ready for the flaming to start right now.....

Yea the 4WD swap should be a fun little endeavor. If I end up finding a decent AW4 to swap in you can have my (piece of shit slipping worn out) transmission too. :D

Come buy my 96. 4.0, 242, U-jointed front driveshaft and D30 :D

Seriously though - good luck with the conversion. I've wanted to convert the GF's XJ to 4wd, but she won't let me touch it (which is probably a good thing). Is the ZJ floor already cut for the TC selector like it is on the XJ?

You have to cut a hole for the linkages, but oh well. It ain't that big of a hole. You really think I'd spend all my time and money on this 2wd hunk if I could just go out and buy another 4wd one?! Oh well.

how were you going to convert? the entire trans method or the way I did it?
if you wanted to do the way I did you might check with this seller on ebay that has a few but you might have to ask if he has the right one in stock for you...

sometimes parts will end up cheaper if you get it right from the dealer instead of waiting to find one and then pay shipping..

here is a pic of the shifter parts
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c367/djjordache/4wdswap/transferbrackets.jpg

242 tcase shift tab 53004227 this number has been superceded by this one 5015222AA which should be around $7.25

242 bezel is not cheap at dealer but it is 55115772 $26.32 at a dealer

what do you mean " the thing the shifters mount to" do you have all the linkage and both arms and the pivot point for the arms?

if you mean the part that mounts to the body the torque shaft frame bracket that the shifter torque arm pivots on then
the bracket it self is 52078022 around $14.40
the bearing that goes onto the bracket that makes it pivot is 52078134 and is $4.50
there is also a gasket on this bracket that is probably not needed but it is 53005154 and about $2.88
the little parts are the killer and add up quick!

what do you mostly see as far as terrain goes?

i've done both- my WJ is a autobox and i've wheeled my buddies' '87 5 spd 2.5 YJ. There - to me anyways- is alot more challenge to wheeling a manual trans vehicle, but it is fun. Not to mention the enjoyment factor of driving a manual trans on the street. Besides, the 42RE is a pile of shit.

Since you're going to have to pull some of it apart anyhow, i would just grab an AX-15. I dont think you'll regret it.

Copied from another forum, I don't feel like typing this again.

Ok, I took a break for a while and came back to work on it. The transmission is in with a few of the bolts, but I have to get some new ones due to the length.

On with the pictures!

Back of the engine-trannyless.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0611.jpg

Dust Shield, flexplate, and spacer all bolted down. (I was about ready to fight someone, because for some stupid reason the bolt holes arn't all the same distance from each other around the flexplate, and I didn't know that.)

Transmission as it sits.

As for the wiring. As ya'll may know, for the AW4 to work in the OBDII ZJ, you have to hardwire in the TCU out of the XJ. It's a really easy job though, 5 connections to the PCM and about 15-20 to the transmission, plus one to the positive pole of the battery.


TCM - It's under the center console mounted on top of the airbag computer. Yes, I know I ziptied it on there with green zipties and it looks ghetto, but I don't care what you think. http://www.jeepforum.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0610.jpg

I cut a hole in the floor under the console; you can see it in the above picture. This is where the wires come out of the floor to go to the PCM and the transmission.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0615.jpg


More to come sunday or monday when I can get to the store and get those bolts as well as the bolts for the torque converter. All thats left for me to do is to finish bolting up the transmission, bolt in the torque converter, reinstall the starter, plug in and neaten the wire harness for the TCM, and install the 231. Of course all the minor things too, like filter change and fluids (all 70 dollars of them http://www.jeepforum.com/gallery/files//1/0/brickwall.gif)

Don't know if you're planning on it, but you may want to put a grommet in that hole you're running your wires through.

Yea, I'm going to put a grommet in this weekend.

Progress has stopped for now because I moved back into school and the jeep is at my parents. Should finish this weekend granted I find a new crossmember.

Oh helllll yeaaahhh! Pulled it out of the garage under it's own power today. Pulled it into my driveway which is really sloped towards the street. Put it in park, or what I thought was park and started to get out. As soon as i took my foot off the brake, I thought it was just rocking forward locking into park like normal, but no. It decided to roll down my driveway into the people's yard across the street. I guess I have to use even the shifter cable of the 93 ZJ vs my original 96 shifter cable. Oh well, didn't harm anything today, just hopped over the curb on the other side of the street.

Tried to post this in the writeup section, but I guess I don't have permission to do it there.


Okay, so you want to install an Aisin-Warner AW4 transmission into your OBDII ZJ, but have no idea about how to do it? The following is my writeup of the part list including the part numbers where needed as well as step by step installation steps. (Part numbers from dealership surrounded by asterisk's)

Parts list:
1X AW4 (Must be a 23 spline, found in ~90 up XJ's behind the 4.0, as well as select ZJ's in early 93)
1X Torque converter from an aw4
1X Flex plate from an aw4
1X Dustshield from an aw4 *53005907 AND 53004908*
1X TCM from same year XJ
3X connectors for TCM (there are two - one gray and one black - that connect to the body of the transmission and one that connects to the TCM)
4X Torque converter bolts (flex plate bolts are the same for both setups) *34202497*
1X AW4 shifter cable bracket *53007746*
1X AW4 Shifter cable *5207 8452*
1X AW4 Shifter bezel *55033646
1X Aw4 floor shifter for a 93 ZJ with the AW4 *53007749*
1X Tcase shifter bracket on the Transmission body *52077509* (I ended up not using this, I went with a Novak shifter kit for the 231 instead.
1X Cross member from a 93-95 ZJ (be sure to get the bolt that holds the mount onto it)
1X Cross member trans mount *52018857* (I bought from Advanced Auto PN - 621049)
1X Crank Position sensor (This one is tricky, you need to buy one out of an XJ, but you need to buy one out of the same year vehichle that you have. I have a 96, so I bought one from a 96 XJ with an Advance Auto part number of AL2017. This is due to the connectors, for some reason they changed them from year to year, but kept them the same across the board for the ZJ and XJ at least in 1996)
Assorted fittings for the cooler lines - I used the stock lines that came with the AW4 and spliced in soft lines
I installed an auxillary cooler in line after the stock cooler on the radiator - This isn't necessary but heat is the easiest way to kill a transmission
Driveshafts - I am using a driveshaft that is off a zj with the 42re and the 242. I tried to use a front driveshaft of a zj with the 42re and the 242, and it was too long; even after compressing it all the way, it couldn't even fit between the yokes.


Parts to reuse from your 42RE:
Flex plate bolts and spacer
Starter
Some bellhousing bolts, but you're going to have to buy some shorter bolts or get the ones off the aw4 equipped vehicle.
Crossmember bolts to "frame" rails


Procedure:

Removing the 42re

-This is a pretty straight forward process, so I'm not going to go into detail. I had no idea what I was doing and I still was able to do it really easily. A couple basic steps though, drop the back end of the transmission then remove all the connections off the transmission. Then unbolt the bellhousing including the starter and all of the bolts holding on the dust shield. You should be able to then rotate the flex plate to remove the 4 torque converter bolts. If everything is out, you should be able to rock the transmission off the back of the block, but be careful it falls off a jack easily.

Installing the aw4

-Everything should be out of the way and ready to install now.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0611.jpg

-Place the top portion of the dust shield on the back of the block. It aligns itself on pegs on either side of the block. Then install the flexplate and torque to spec. You're going to have to spin the flex plate around to line it up correctly because the bolt holes aren't concentric on the crank. Don't forget to install the spacer on the transmission side of the flex plate.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0612.jpg

-Install the torque converter onto the input shaft of the transmission. Be sure to rotate it at least 90 degrees off vertical in both directions while pushing aftward. This is to ensure that the converter seats on both sets of splines on the input shaft.

-At this point, you're really ready to put the transmission onto the back of the block. Get it under the jeep and jack it up high enough, then using the aforementioned pegs on the back of the block, line up the transmission and bolt it on. Be careful with this step. You shouldn't force it to mate up with the back of the block. If it is done correctly, it will easily go in. One tip about the torque converter bolts - install one but don't tighten it much. Then rotate the flex plate enough to get the opposite bolt in, then just work your way around to all the bolts, tightening them in increments. I tightened the first bolt too much and I couldn't spin the flex plate at all because the input shaft was at an awkward angle I guess. (SIDE NOTE - You can see where the bracket for the shifter cable goes in the following picture, it is just to the left of the center of the picture where there are two shiny spots with bolts in the middle of them on the backside of the bellhousing)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0614.jpg

-Bolt the lower portion of the dust shield onto the bellhousing. Take care of little things at this point such as reinstall the starter onto the tranny. Also run the lines. I cut the stock lines for the AW4 and then used a flaring tool in order to run soft line. I used fuel pressure line.

-Using the pre-95 crossmember and the 93 ZJ mount, mount the rear of the transmission. Reinstall the Tcase.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0631.jpg
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SPyKOSshow/100_0630.jpg

-Now for the interior and the shifter linkages. For the floor shifter, you have to use the one that shifts the aw4 because the gears are in different positions versus the 42re. You also have to use the aw4 shifter cable that goes between the gear selector and the gear selector on the body of the transmission. It may not make sense as to why you have to do this, but it's because the cable that actually moves within the shielding is a slightly different length. This picture shows the interior completely torn apart. This was because in order to install the 4wd linkages (I did this transmission swap to convert my ZJ into 4wd) I had to replace the pan that the gear selectors bolt to in order to mount the 231 handle. You won't have to remove the carpet to just replace the shifter and it's cable, but it would make it easier for the cable portion. I replaced the cable after I had already put the carpet back, so I ended up just cutting the carpet right along the shifter cable (~4" of carpet) and it made it very easy to R&R the cable. To remove the shifter handle you have to just pull really hard on it, but be careful when doing so (look at the last picture in the next set).

Wiring

Alright, now this part of the swap I can't take credit for, although I have modified it ever so slightly to work with the ZJ. The following is copied DIRECTLY from Stu Olsen's Jeep site located at http://www.stu-offroad.com/index.asp.

For the GRAY 8 prong connector from the Transmission body -

Pin 1 TRS 1-2 Sense - This is a violet with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 21 on the TCM plug. (Also known as TRS T42 sense). It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 21 on the TCM letting the TCM know that the shifter is in the 1-2 range.

Pin 2 TRS 3 Sense - This is a violet wire. It needs to connect to Pin 9 on the TCM plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 9 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the 3 range.

Pin 3 Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) - This is a white wire. When you turn on the key to the run or start mode this sends power to the TRS. The TRS then uses this power to send signals to the TCM indicating what range the shifter is in. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A2.

Pin 4 TRS Overdrive Sense - This is a light green with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 22 on the TCM plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 22 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the OD range.

Pin 5 (Not used)

Pin 6 TRS Reverse Sense - This is a brown with light green stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 18 on the TCM plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 18 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the reverse range. (Also known as Back Up Lamp Feed)

Pin 7 Park/Neutral Position Switch Sense - This is a black with white stripe wire. It's purpose is to ground the Park/Neutral circuit on the TJ harness when you shift into Park or Neutral so that the starter relay can be engaged which in turn allows the motor to be started. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A6.

Pin 8 Ground - This is the ground necessary to complete the Park/Neutral circuit. It will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin 31 or 32.

BLACK 8 prong from the transmission body -

Pin 1 Input Speed Sensor Signal - This is a red with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 2 on the TCM plug. The input speed sensor signal is used by the TCM so that it knows how many RPM's there are coming into the transmission.

Pin 2 Transmission Solenoid B - This is an orange with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 13 on the TCM plug. The solenoids are used by the TCM to shift the transmission.

Pin 3 Transmission Solenoid A - This is a white wire. It needs to connect to Pin 12 on the TCM plug. The solenoids are used by the TCM to shift the transmission.

Pin 4 Transmission Solenoid C (Lockup) - This is a dark blue with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 11 on the TCM connector. The TCM uses this solenoid to engage and disengage the lockup.

Pin 5 Input Speed Sensor Ground - This is a violet with light green stripe. It needs to connect to Pin 1 on the TCM plug. It completes input speed sensor circuit.

Pin 6 Output Speed Sensor Ground - This is a dark blue with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 3 on the TCM plug. It completes the output speed sensor circuit.

Pin 7 Output Speed Sensor Signal - This is a light green with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 4 on the TCM plug. The output speed sensor signal is used by the TCM so that it knows how many RPM's there are coming out of the transmission.

Pin 8 (Not used)

BLACK 26 prong connector to TCM

Pin 1 Input Speed Sensor Ground - This is a violet with light green stripe. It needs to connect to Pin 5 on the black 8 way plug. It completes input speed sensor circuit

Pin 2 Input Speed Sensor Signal - This is a red with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 1 on the black 8 way plug. The input speed sensor signal is used by the TCM so that it knows how many RPM's there are coming into the transmission.

Pin 3 Output Speed Sensor Ground - This is a dark blue with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 6 on the black 8 way plug. It completes the output speed sensor circuit.

Pin 4 Output Speed Sensor Signal - This is a light green with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 7 on the black 8 way plug. The output speed sensor signal is used by the TCM so that it knows how many RPM's there are coming out of the transmission.

Pin 5 (Not used)

Pin 6 CCD BUS (-) (NOT USED!)

Pin 7 CCD BUS (+) (NOT USED!)

Pin 8 (Not used)

Pin 9 TRS T3 Sense (TRS 3 Sense) - This is a violet wire. It needs to connect to Pin 2 on the gray 8 way plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 9 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the 3 range.

Pin 10 (Not used)

Pin 11 Transmission Solenoid C (Lockup) - This is a dark blue with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 4 on the black 8 way plug. The TCM uses this solenoid to engage and disengage the lockup.

Pin 12 Transmission Solenoid A - This is a white wire. It needs to connect to Pin 3 on the black 8 way plug. The solenoids are used by the TCM to shift the transmission.

Pin 13 Transmission Solenoid B - This is an orange with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 2 on the black 8 way plug. The solenoids are used by the TCM to shift the transmission.

Pin 14 (Not used)

Pin 15 (Not used)

Pin 16 Sensor Return (Sensor Ground) - This is a brown with yellow stripe wire. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A4. When we pull sensor signals off the TJ harness we need to send to signal ground back to the TJ PCM sensor return. This completes the circuit the TCM needs to get signals from the TJ throttle position sensor and brake switch sense circuits.

Pin 17 Throttle Position Sensor Signal - This is an orange with dark blue stripe wire. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A23. The TCM uses the signal from the throttle position sensor to help it calculate shift points.

Pin 18 Back Up Lamp Feed (TRS Reverse Sense) - This is a brown with light green stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 6 on the gray 8 way plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 18 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the reverse range.

Pin 19 (Not used)

Pin 20 (Not used)

Pin 21 T42 Sense (TRS 1-2 Sense) - This is a violet with white stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 1 on the gray 8 way plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 21 on the TCM letting the TCM know that the shifter is in the 1-2 range.

Pin 22 TRS T1 Sense (TRS Overdrive Sense) - This is a light green with black stripe wire. It needs to connect to Pin 4 on the gray 8 way plug. It's purpose is to apply 12 volts to pin 22 on the TCM telling the TCM that the shifter is in the OD range.

Pin 23 Brake Switch Sense - This is a white with pink stripe wire. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 3 pin C24. This allows the TCM to know when the brakes are being applied.

Pin 24 Ground - This is a black with tan strip wire. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A31 or A32. Provides a ground for the TCM.

Pin 25 Fused B (+) - This is a pink 20 gauge wire. Rather than tear apart the power distribution center I chose to run this straight to the battery positive terminal. You will want to use an inline 15A fuse. This wire provides constant power for the TCM.

Pin 26 Fused Ignition Switch Input (Start-Run) - This is a dark blue with white stripe wire. When you turn on the key to the run or start mode this sends power to the TCM. This will tie into the wire bundle coming out of the TJ PCM on connector 1 pin A2.

I mounted the TCM under the center console on top of the airbag computer underneath the armrest portion. I drilled a hole underneath where the bin in the arm rest is and ran the wires up along the transmission tunnel, then up the firewall to the PCM. As for the things that I have had to adapt to the ZJ, one is that I had to ground the black with white tracer wire that goes to the pcm (connector A) with a switch so that I could start it. I need to do some work with the NSS to not have to ground this wire as well as get my reverse lamps back. I'll edit this when I figure these very minor issues figured out.

Took the heep wheeling to Uhwarrie this weekend for a break-in run. I was leaking a little bit of tranny fluid out what I had believed to have been just the tranny pan gasket. Got onto Daniel on my way up to Kodak rock and had to get over a decent sized rock on a hill and when I tried to reverse, nothing happened. Put it in drive, nothing happened. Someone then pointed out that I was puking fluid out of the bellhousing and I was starting to smoke like crazy. Shut it down, got out and when I looked under the jeep the transmission engulfed in flames. Thankfully we had a couple fire extinguishers and were able to put it out before any damage. Had to tow it back to the outpost 10 miles away and load it on a trailer.


Before this happened it was performing awesome! I'm surprised at how much flex I had with stock arms. I'll put up pictures this afternoon.

Wow, am I lucky.

Started work on the jeep today because it's due for inspection this month. Where the TCM wire I had that traced itself and melted could've been a whole lot worse. I removed it and it had melted onto every wire it was near, including several grounds and several 12v+ wires. It also melted some of the padding underneath the carpet. I'm lucky that didn't engulf anything.

Just a little update, I've decided to drop the aw4 and replace it with a 42re for now. I don't have time to solve the CEL, and I can't get it inspected with it on. I don't have time to solve the no reverse light issue, I can't get it inspected without them. I don't know what condition the aw4 is going to be in when I drop it. I very well could've sheared off the input shaft for all I know. I have a feeling it'll be like opening a can of worms, and there will be numerous issues. I hope to just get through this wheeling season on a 42re, and come winter time I can rebuild the aw4 as well as build it up and put it back in for next season. I've already located a new tranny, as well as torque converter, flex plate, linkages, etc. from a 96 that is being parted out next week right here in Raleigh, something is telling me to just keep it simple for now and make my life easier. I'm getting sick of driving the Exploder.

Hell yeah bitches. It's ALIVE! It only took 2 years and 2 months to do it, but it runs and drives.

The gas had been sitting in it that whole time and it started on the first crank. The battery didn't need charging, I didn't have to jump it, it just cranked right up. I have a CEL, but I'm almost positive it is just the bad cat again.

ZJ cases are 100% mechanical other than the speedo and the range indicator. Neither are imperative to its function.


I absolutely love 100% mechanical, f*** wiring crap

I took it out for more than a 5 foot drive today. Ran better than it did before I blew it up. Yeayuh.

FUCK. That was short lived. Seems as though my internal sensors in the tranny are on the fritz. I'm throwing code 37 and am stuck in limp mode.

Any suggestions? I'm going to drop the pan, change the sensors from one of the valve bodies I have laying around, change the filter, and pray for the best.

I'd say fuck in and swap in a manual of some sort, but I have to get it inspected every year and anything other than the 42re will throw a code. Thus, I'd fail.

Changed out the governor pressure sensor and the other internal sensor, and so far so good. I'll put more miles on it on Thursday and we'll see.

Been driving it around all day. Had to replace the starter first thing this morning, but other than that (knock on wood) it's been doing well.

Took it to jiffy lube to get it inspected, knowing it would fail. I've got to replace the cat or the o2 sensor to get rid of the CEL after that DAMN reflash at the dealer.

You got bit by that Service bulletin too huh? Mine was picky about the O2 sensor that was put in. Had to use a dealer item otherwise it would always set a code.

I thought you were selling this thing?

Or was it like Brett? Where you ask an incredibly steep price knowing/hoping that no one will buy it. :D

I posted it up for sale, and had some people interested. It hit me though that I've sank so much money into it, that I wouldn't get near what I wanted out of it. Therefore I shall sink a few more grand into it and wheel the piss out of it.
