What did you rip out the oil pan?

 

basically just tug and pulled then wiggled some. what was holding the pan in on the dust shield was a gasket of some sort. ive cleaned up but can take pix tomorrow if youd like.

 

Sure Matt, take pics before you put it back together.

Fiberglass on a hole in my floor. We'll see how it does

 

i changed my CPS and the jeep still missing and I mean BAD still has no power idk what to check now

 

Hey guys,

Im new to the XJ world, I have a TJ and JK.

I picked up a 89 XJ with the Aw4 Trans.

I know the trans is busted due to the fact of its literally cracked..

Anyway, I'm looking to find a replacement, can someone point out if I have to find a specific year or something special or will any AW4 trans work?

Kinda of a dumb question but rather appear dumb than blow $$$..

 

'90 or older anything newer will not match up with the tcase output shaft

 

Did you check/clean the connector? Did you install a new or used CPS?
If new, did you leave the paper spacer on it when installing?
Dan

 

paper spacer? didn't have one and yes it was new and I did clean the connector

 

Thank you.. Time to find one locally.

damn had a 93 or 95 XJ trans I coulda got for free.

 

yea my cousin tried that with the transfer case and it wouldnt work

 

The manual says: "If installing the original sensor, obtain an original-type spacer from a dealership parts department and apply it to the tip of the sensor to properly set the sensor depth. A new sensor should be equipped with the paper spacer in place. Install the sensor, lightly press the spacer against the driveplate and tighten the bolt to 60 in-lbs. Caution: Damage to the sensor will occur at startup if the sensor-to- driveplate clearance is not correct."

hmmm well hell i'm prolly gonna get a new motor anyway

 

Oh well then.
Dan

 

I wonder if It would be better if I get the free trans and get a different transfer case... or would it be better to just get the correct trans?

For all i Know the transfer case could be bad as of right now.

I have a seller with a AW4 witha NP-231 with a SYE installed..he is asking 350.00 ( out of a 1995)

Could i swap out both my Trans and Transfer case? or would I run into more work than its worth?
