Default My '96 ZJ 5.2 with AW4

Hi guys,
just wanted to show you my ZJ 5.2 with AW4 modificaction I made.
Some pictures below, complete story and how I did it under this link
http://jeep.org.pl/forum/thread-62884.html

If someone would need it I stored dxf files I created to burn (by plasma or laser) this special part to fit AW4 into 5.2 engine. Also this project needs torque converter modifiction, everything I described on link above, you probably will need google translator as it's in polish
Everything works great and hopefully any problems with tranny went away forever.

Sweet, well done.

How do you control the shifting of the AW4? TCU or manual/switches?

I installed TCU from XJ, it works the same like in XJ.
From engine you will need just TPS signal and brake signal.

It's funny because I expected check engine light (PCM controls trans in ZJ) however no check engine light at all.

Just to make sure it's clear how I created project in Autocad. First I made a pattern in wood




Then I scanned wood pattern with 1:1 scale into Tiff format.




So having this I could easily create Autocad project in order to burn it with CNC plasma, I made it from 4 layers 5mm and 1 layer 8mm, in summary 28mm.

To be honest it was 90% of entire effort needed to make this project happen. Of course burned plate is not plug&play, a lot of hols must be drilled because plasma will never do it with enough quality however it's easy anyway.

Looks like you smoked an entire carton of cigarettes to create this thing lol!

Pretty cool though!
