Ok here is the deal I have a 86 xj and it currently has the 2.5l 4cyl (150ci) and the 5spd trani.... Now for the question part... I am wanting to switch over to the 4.0l I6 but i need to know if my current transmission will bolt up to the bigger engine or for that matter can it take the extra power i know it may not be much more power but i do a-lot of wheelin and this vehicle is my dd/weekend toy so i need it to be reliable i had to replace the 1st and 5th shifter arm in my first xj (85 same engine and trani but it was carb instead of TBI) and it took them 6 weeks to get my part in on account that it is a dealer only part and had to "special order it" so wll this work or will i have to change the trani i am just asking before i put the engine in there and then it not bolt up and me not have a trani for another 3 weeks. oh yea and second question the cj/tj/ w/e transmissions (5spd) will go right into my xj w/o any cuting right i mean in the hole in the floorboard where the shifter comes through taht way i know if i can get a trani or not outta one of those as well giving me more options on parts.
thanx,
Trent
