Thanks. That would be cool. And I have a friend whose family is in Mass, so maybe it'd be cool to get and put on my shelf until one day needed? But I'm trying to drive this thing in next day or two, so I'm headed to the local pick-a-part to snag one at 9:00 tomorrow. Wanna get on the road/trail...

I think I pretty much have it figured out. After swapping in a valve body and everything else... It was a mechanical issue that's ALL my fault. When adapting everything to the 360 I thought there was too much play in between the torque converter and flex plate, so built a 1/4" spacer (sort of)...

I have removed all wiring from the equation and no change. Then, I pulled the connection between trans fluid lines and cooler... both are dry. Bad pump? TC issue? Is there an internal thermostat that prevents fluid circulation to cooler when below certain temp? Thanks for any ideas.

Well, none of it is going right. And I know a LOT more people see this thread, so if you have any solid knowledge on the operation of the aW4 please chime in here: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=246510517#post246510517

I don't necessarily believe that it's clogged, but am trying to think of what COULD be the issue(s). I was thinking of bypassing the cooler(s) to eliminate the factor, but perhps it'd be better to go your route to verify the pump is pumping. I can easily just dump into a clean bucket too.

In my harness I have a wire for battery positive, a wire for ignition position, and a ground. All three disconnected makes no change. The harness is completely stand alone otherwise. If I have a transmission problem, then now I have to figure out what problem? If the bands release when the...

I am in need of help form some AW4 experts... I am working on getting a '99 XJ AW4 into a CJ7. I have done all the mods to shift by TCU or by switch, but don't have a TPS installed on the carb yet, so am currently hoping to accomplish manual shifting. It is not going as planned. My symptoms...

Okay. Sorry, but one more odd but specific question; On the throttle where the throttle valve cable connects there is the arm that moves opposite the throttle pedal cable. I need to make a piece to adapt for that. Could someone tell me the length of that, from the pivot point to the center of...

Actually, I opened up the TCU and tapped off the 12v, put in a 5v regulator circuit, and then ran it to an unused pin, so there is now a 5v for the TPS in my TCU. I'm using the TCU case as mounting and heat sink for the regulator. My NSS is definitely wired into my harness. I have just deleted...

Ecomike, you replied while I was typing. My TCU has a pinout for TPS input. I planned on supplying a ground and 5VDC to TPS, then taking the sense off the TPSto TCU. Does that not work it out?

The NSS is neautral safety switch, right? I'll be deleting that. I do have the connection to the shift indicator, though. It's important to me to be able to start in gear. I also have the brake input to TCU for what I assume is torque converter unlock? So I need to figure out the throttle valve...

It seems I'm stuck all-manual for the moment anyway. But with a '99 TCU and a TPS will I be good, assuming no PCM? Does it need a VSS? Why is the pulse per revolution it looks for? I can add a VSS on my t-case I think. I really thought I had my harness sorted out. Damn. I'll find a XJ and...

There's a throttle-to-trans cable? Like a kick-down? I definitely don't have that. lol But I can still shift by going into low and switching the solenoids, right?

There's 20 pages and it's pretty rough to sort through that and the links throughout. I was wondering if anyone might know the answer. If I set up a '99 AW4 in a non-XJ (my CJ7 project) and run a TCM, XJ shifter, and switches for manual shift by solenoids, but do not have a TPS, what would I...
