I bought my 3rd cherokee today.
I paid 200 for a 84 with Manual Transmission , 2.8L V6 and it is 4x4( ok it was.. a 4x4 :laugh3: ) It has NO RUST OR DINGS..hell the paint is even good and so is the interiour..
Here is the deal, the person who owned it before me, broke a u joint in the front driveshaft... so instead of fixing the ujoint, HE YANKED THE TRANSFERCASE and TRANSMISSION and stuck in a 2wd Tranny. I knew all this before I bought it, except I didn't know that there was a difference between a 2wd version and a 4wd version of the Manual Transmission.. stupid me.. I am going to put a transfer case back in but I would like to know if I can convert the 2wd tranny into a 4wd version. the dude threw the old tranny and tcase away(i asked if they were still good, he said.. yes,, I had to restrain myself).. man I want to kill him
I cant ID the transmission I have though.. it has ribs on both sides all around it and I think it is a 4 speed.. I haven't actually drove it, the clutch is bad. and there is no shift nob form me to see ... I believe there are 4 gates and a reverse gate to the left rear posistion. I had to remove four bolts on the cover to take out the shift lever so I could drop the tranny, it has a external slave cylinder. I cant find any stampings on it, and for all I know it could be a five speed.. does this tranny ring a bell to anyone? oh ya, the input and out put on the tranny is 21 spline.
can I remove the 2wd drive extention housing and shaft? and use it with a tcase? I have found the correct t case for it, just haven't picked it up yet from the salvage yard. the local upullits have lots of 4x4 automatics but no manuals... if they did I would just pick up both.
I know I need 2 driveshafts.. but I just want to figure out this tranny problem first.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
