Will a 4.0 auto transmission bolt up to my 2.5l? want to go auto instead of standard

 

Idk. I did find this in the wikipedia link there in my signature under 2.5.

Instead of the standard AMC bell housing bolt pattern, AMC/Jeep engineers adopted the General Motors small V6 and four-cylinder bolt pattern (commonly used with GM's transverse-mounted powerplants) for their new engine, because the new AMC 2.5 replaced the four-cylinder engines that had been purchased from GM; and because AMC continued to buy the 2.8 L V6 from GM until the 4.0 L I6 was introduced in 1987. The four-cylinder and V6 shared the same drivetrain components, whereas stronger transmissions were needed for the new 4.0 L.

I think my neighbors kid has a 2.5 with an auto. He's selling it.

Afraid there are a heap of issues with the electrics'. The TPS, TCU, ECU?/ PCM? No Idea what you happen to have. (posting that usually helps quite a bit). A three alarm headache it sounds like.

 

It's not an auto, 5 speed.

 

I dont beleive so.
