Sorry guys but I'm on dial-up here and just can't bring myself to wade through a thousand posts saying "it's junk, throw it away" but not actually offering any useful info. God knows I'll tell anyone who will listen to never buy a jeep with a peugout tranny or a 2.8, but somehow one has wound up in our driveway.:doh: Hey, when you can score a clean, driveable Waggy for under $500 who cares what the transmission is. And it could be worse, my MJ had a god-awful torque-flite in it when we bought that. As long as it keeps working we'll leave it in there, when it dies we'll stuff an AW4 in there and be done with it.
So, anyways the question are:
1) The thing shifts like a tractor, especially when it's cold. And I believe the second gear synchro is pretty much toast. It's got a lot of miles on it and I figure it has at least earned a fliud change. So, what does it take for fluid? Anyone had any particular luck with any sort of additive?
2) What's output shaft spline count/length on these? More specifically will a 21 spline NP242 off an AW4 bolt up? We've been running 242's for too long now to put up with this whole shifting in and out of 4wd depending on road conditions business if we don't have to.
