i have a 96 cherokee sport with a motor and trans that is high miles aw4 . got a friend with a 93 jeep that got smashed by a falling tree. i got him to sell it to me for cheap. i wanna swap his motor trans and tcase to mine. his motor has barley 100,000 miles on the motor and a everything has that many miles as well BUT his is a ax15 so ill be going from auto to manual. pretty much taking everything out from mine and putting his all in mine. only thing im worried about is the wiring. i understand you need a clutch pedal and all that cylinder stuff but where will i hit a wall. i need to expec the unexpected. is his internal or external all that stuff. if anyone can help me with there knowledge thatd be awesome!


thanks

 

I think 93 was the last year for internal slave cylinders. They suck. I've done it twice in one year. Your best bet before getting it all in is to get, a new clutch (optional but safe), machine the flywheel, and buy new master cyl, slave cyl, new clutch line, obviously new dot 3 or4 fluid. Make sure everything is clean! My old clutch line was almost burned right through cause it runs down pretty close to the exhaust manifold. I switched the old line out with adapters for -4 flare fittings, to -4 an with Earls stainless braided high pressure line.(4 foot).

Refill tranny with Pennzoil synchromesh, do the t-case seals and fluid. T case linkage may be tricky, along with crossmember. I don't know about the input shaft diameter...maybe different.

That's just the beginning...This will not be easy...

Good luck.

 

basically im just switching shells everything in his is going to my shell. idk if that matter just worried about the wiring. his drove perfect till a widow maker smashed his roof
