I am contemplating on what to do for my tranny. i have the aw4. should i get another aw4 and just put it in, or should i get an ax15 and have a tranny shop put it in? I like manuals and im sick of my auto, it has slipping problems and its basically a peice of crap. so which one should i do? ax15 or aw4?

 

Stay with the Aw4. Keep it simple. I have always had the auto tranny's and I have had ZERO issues.

 

x2-keep the aw4 auto

Doing a manual swap can be a fairly expensive job, not to mention frustrationg and complicated. You would probably need a donor truck for the pedals and all the other parts to convert to manual. Probably better off just buying a 5-spd XJ if you want one. The AW4 is an awesome tranny, and most seem to prefer it offroad, including myself.

 

so i guess ill keep with an auto, should i go to a JY and pull one with low miles?

 

You could do the JY thing, or keep an eye on craigslist for a used tranny with low miles. Either way you should be able to come across one fairly cheap...

 

i need hepl. when i put my auto trans in any reverse or drive it shifts hella hard, what does that mean?
