88 to 91 aw4 swap

[BIGWOODY]

Advance Adapters finally got my Atlas to me yesterday, I plan on throwing it in the MJ tonight. I currently have a 21 spline aw4, I am going to install a 23 spline from a 91 XJ, is this a plug and play swap? Anyone done this?

Well...I guess I'll know by the end of the day....just wish someone had done it so I'd know what to expect .(cussing, delays, etc...)

How long have you been turning wrenches Greg? LOL always lots of cussing and always delays...

OTOH I am pretty sure it's plug & play, the 91 still has the seperate TCU

it is plug and play aside from the t-case, which of course you are taking care of with the Atlas. You will want to use the flexplate for the year of the motor (88 Renix in your case) and the plug for the TCM is the same. Aside from the t-case spline count issue, all the AW4s behind 4.0s are plug and play between 87 and 96.
