Just thinking out loud... I'm not totally convinced a 545RFE is all that but just kicking ideas around.
XJ or WJ project vehicle
- Jeep I6 stroker
- 5 speed PCM from XJ donor
- 545RFE out of a WJ
- PCS stand alone controller for the 545RFE
The XJ would take to this quite readily, especially if you started with a 5 speed manual XJ to start with.
For a WJ can you change the PCM with an XJ one if you were going this route? Would it be that simple?
Maybe there are alternative ways to do this?
Can christuned or flyinryan make the 545RFE TCM live with the WJ or XJ automatic 4.0 PCM? "drag and drop" the appropriate coding from the V8 PCM to the 4.0 PCM? Maybe that's an option?
If it wasn't for emissions testing there would be no need for the factory PCM at all in my jurisdiction and that would be much simpler but watcha gonna do? I ain't moving.
Better alternatives? What's a decent five-six speed manual that makes sense in a unibody Jeep? Don't say NV4500, more interested in something that doesn't shift like a five ton truck transmission. AX15/NV3550 live with a stroker?
