Even though the flexplate has six screws, it will only bolt on one way. I suspose this is to index the flex plate so the CPS will work. 5-90, I believe we are both saying the same thing?

Thats the problem 5-90. I knew something was wrong....I appreciate your help with this.......Thanks much

5-90, Does a Grand Cherokee with a non AW4 have a flex plate with a different bolt pattern for the torque converter?

I think I just stumbled upon something.... A 95 Grand Cherokee does not have a AW4 trannie right? My motor came out of a 95 Grand Cherokee, perhaps this is why the flex plate holes will not match?

5-90, Does a 5 speed have a flex plate as well or just a flywheel? Are the flex plates from a Grand Cherokee and XJ interchangable?

Ok, I think I screwed up. I have drawn the conclusion that I must have used the flywheel from the replacement motor by accident. Also, the new motor must have been mated to a 5 speed so this is why the flywheel holes will not match the torque converter. So I have to pull the motor out again...

Actually the holes in the converter are higher than the holes in the flywheel. I try to jack the motor up and it takes the trannie with it. Gosh, I thought bolting up the flywheel to the torque converter would take 5 minutes. This is just nuts and makes no sense.

One last thing, I used the flywheel off of the motor I took out

I am able to spin the torque converter with my finger tips with no problem. I have spun the converter 360 degrees. When I have everything lined up, the holes in the converter are about 1/8 higher than the flywheel holes. The screws reach the converter without a problem. Based on the above, I...

I just put a 1995 4.0 into my 93 Cherokee......I had the motor mounts aligned and the 4 engine mounting bolts on the trannie tightened....I cannot get the flywheel / converter bolt holes to align....Have spent hours on this...... Now I have the trannie mounts disconnected as well as the two...

I just swapped the engine in my 1993 Cherokee 4.0 and replaced the motor mounts as preventative maintenance. The drivers side mount is installed, aligned and bolted loosely. However, I cannot get the passenger side mount to line up no matter how hard I try. The hole appears to be 1/4-3/8 inch...

Ok, I will take some pics this weekend...I do not have a camera phone but a regular digital camera.....Thanks......

I think I have the window sticker in the truck. I will get it and post more info in the coming days....Thanks much

I live in Northern Cal and am 'thinking about' selling my 87 Comanche 4x4 5 speed 4.0, 7 foot box, 86K orig miles, w/cap, Dana 44 rear, mild death wobble...Minimal rust, good paint, garage kept until recently....Rarely used, this is why I am considering selling it... I am the second owner, my...

I am rebuilding a used Jeep 4.0 and was told the motor was a 1993....I purchased a replacement timing set which had a 'single' chain.....But when I ripped it apart, the motor had a double chain but I installed the 'single' chain kit in it.....However, I just ran the numbers off of the block and...
