Can't you swap in a 46re IIRC it's just a stronger version.

All XJ 4.0L autos are AW4s. I think one of the 4 cylinders or V6 had some other transmission, but the 4.0L always had the AW4. The ZJs also had a AW4, but that was only early 93 models. I had one and the transmission was about the only thing that worked correctly.
As far as the 44A is concerned... well, I wouldn't touch a 44A to begin with )its the A part), but it will have no issue with a AW4.

Re: ok, tell me this is a dumb idea, or show me how to make it
I read an article in MOPAR ACTION a while back, they have a project dakota. They swapped a 42re for a 46re.
4= # of fwd gears
2 or 6 = tq rating- don't remember what they mean.
R = rear output or drive
E = elec shift or control
I'm not sure if they bolt up to the same transfer cases or not (output shafts) but otherwise should be no sweat.

Hmm sounds feasible... what would a 46re come out of? Ram?

Re: ok, tell me this is a dumb idea, or show me how to make it
Yeah I've already went through a process of which axle to go with, there's a company called Mountain Valley Custom that makes a truss for the 44A as well as a new cover from BlueTorch Fab, that pretty much cures the weak link there. And the Spartan locker has some pretty good reviews.SilverXJ wrote:All XJ 4.0L autos are AW4s. I think one of the 4 cylinders or V6 had some other transmission, but the 4.0L always had the AW4.

I'm slightly hesitant to use a chrysler transmission though because I've heard and gone through quite a few problems with them, but I know once they've been rebuilt and from what i hear, installing a shift kit, they run very well. Just looking for my cheapest most reliable option.

Back to your original post. I was wondering why you want to remote mount your turbo. The plumbing is much easier if it stays close to the motor.

Well that was before I saw the boostwerks manifold; Till then I just figured that was the easiest way minus running the oil lines. I've never turbo'ed anything before. I have a ton to learn! lolcomanchemty wrote:Back to your original post. I was wondering why you want to remote mount your turbo. The plumbing is much easier if it stays close to the motor.
I just got a book from Jay K Miller to reference. Pretty informative for a newbie like me.
I noticed most new people don't think about the drivetrain when adding boost... guess I'm ahead of the game in that regard lol.
