Hi All,
I'd like to create a list of steps to remove a AW-4 auto transmission from my 1992 XJ 4.0 4X4. Below is my start. I'll list steps in numbed order. If you see something I missed please give it a number-letter. For example if after my step 2 you see something, call it 2a.
The plan is to take the transmission out from under.
1) Remove hood. Install chains on engine to connect cherry picker.
2) Lift and jackstand XJ high enough for transmission to clear and be slid out
3) Drain transmission fluid.
4) Remove bolts connecting flywheel to torque converter and remove drive shaft
6) Disconnect shift linkage. Disconnect electrical. Disconnect hoses to radiator cooling.
5) Attach cherry picker. Tension. Remove engine motor mounts.
6) Lower engine/transmission to the point where Torx bolts at transmission top can be removed. Remove these.
7) Support transmission on hydraulic floor jack
8) Remove 4 bolts holding transmission to engine.
9) Remove transmission mount and cross member.
10) Lower transmission.
11) Drag it from under.
I know I've missed steps. Please help me by adding them at the appropriate places.
I know I need a torx socket for the upper two bolts. Any other special tools?
When the trans is disconnected will I be able to lower it mostly straight down? Will I have to move the engine forward?
Is installation of a new trans just the reverse of the steps?
Is there some other post with this information?
Thanks!
