if u were to upgrade your automatic trans what would you put in? what is the best one for crawling?

I'd stick with an AW4.

the AW4 is an awesome auto trans as far as stock units go

AW4 hands down....maybe the best automatic trans ever put in a jeep. As for crawling I would swap out my T-case for a rubicon t-case with 4:1 gearing......and its a direct bolt in from what I have heard.

You can beat the pi** outta our aw4s and they will keep goin as long as you keep their fluids well and show them love

It's not. I just saw a write up on doing it up on naxja and there are some differences.

Turbo 400, maybe a 700r4, but it would have to ne modified.

if you wanna crawl, build yourself a doubler using a d300 mated to a 231 and regear your axles.

Theres no point to sway these in unless your running a V8 that need a stouter trans. aw4, T350/400 and 700r4 all have the same weakness: heat. Throw a cooler on it and enjoy beating on it.

ct67_72

that is mostly true. either choise has lower first gear, you can run a little less axle gear and have a better crawl ratio. and keep a little better driveability. of course if it comes down to swapping one of these in, highway rpm probably isnt much of a concern.
Otherwise yes, AW4 is a great trans and very stout. Not much reason to swap one.

Gee oh Dee

Moved to chat.
