Okay so I have a 1989 cherokee with a 4.0L HO swapped in. I bought it like that. I assume the transmission is the same era as the engine which is a 1994.
My mom has a 1995 grand cherokee with a 4.0L and she blew the engine.
I thought oh well we can just swap my 4.0L with your 4.0L, 1995 and 1994 are the same.
Wrong....
I get the transmission in and I cannot turn the ring gear with the starter, or with a breaker bar on the crank.
So I need to know a few things..
The engine from the grand cherokee, it is a 4.0HO it look identical to the 1994 out of my XJ BUT the there is no fuel return on the rail.
The transmission does not look the same as my AW4 in my XJ, the fluid lines are on the drivers side whereas mine are on the passenger side, what else could it be?
I have checked and triple checked that the torque converter was pushed in far enough but I may be doing it wrong so how far in should the torque converter be inside the transmission bellhousing(if I put a straight edge across and measure what should it be roughly)?
I have been at this for a week and a day plus my usual 45-50 hours a week at work. I really need to get this solved or I am going to have to rebuild her blown engine(cracked head and bad rod knock). I really do not want to spend another few weeks on this.]
I have tommorrow off of work and I need to get some progress before I go mad.
