Transmission

What tranny is this? I look under my xj, and saw on the passenger side of the tranny it reads AISIN 8980 11. I have a 1995 XJ Sport 4.0 HO. Any help would be good. I thought it was the AW4, but I do not know for sure. Also, I was also told I could swap in a 242 xfer case, is this correct too?

Thanks,
Silent

The "A" in AW4 stands for "AISIN"

AW4 is Aisin Warner, so that sounds right if its an automatic.

The AW$ is built by Aisin Seike and Borg Warner of Japan. To make it shorter they call it the AW4.

IT is the ONLY 4 spd auto that came in the XJ series.....

SO if you have an AUTO, it is an AW4.....

You can also verify this by looking at the TCU (which on the older models is attached to the knee bolster unde the glove box....) It says AW4 or something similar...

Give me a few minutes and I can have a picture of the TCU for you.....

Ok, thanks. I will look into it. And, I will compare to pic when you post it.

That right there should tell you your answer....there shouldnt be anything else you have to "look into".

I figured as much. So, I am good on swapping in a 242 xfer case. I will need the tail shaft from the doner tranny though.

Only if you're going from a 2wd AW-4 to a 4wd. Otherwise, the NP231 and NP242 use the same mounting pattern so no new output adapter needed.
