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.

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...
