Coverting YJ fro MAnual to Automatic
Wondered if anyone out there had ever swapped out an AX15 manual trans for a
factory automatic trans in a YJ. Seems easy, almost a bolt-in in thought,
but haven't heard of anyone doing it (with the stock engine). Only online
article I could find was to swpaa in a GM 700r.
Simple summary, getting tired of shifting on the trail, want an automatic!
(Hey, maybe this is the ewxcuse I was looking for for the GM crate engine &
trans, eh?)

Re: Coverting YJ fro MAnual to Automatic
It would be cheaper and cleaner to sell the one with a manual and buy a new
one with an automatic. If you could do this job easily, you wouldn't need to
ask us how, you would just dive in and do it. Since you had to ask, I
suggest you need to trade your Jeep in for one tht has the transmission you
want.

The TF999, same as AW4 are computer controlled:

But then so is the 700, which is the choice of Hot Rodders.

Re: Coverting YJ fro MAnual to Automatic
Thanks, Bill. This actually may not be worth the trip, but seems one could
find a scrapped YJ auto & scrounge the trans and all the tough little stuff
for the swap, including the PCM. Not sure if they used two different
harnesses in '94, or just blanked out the trans plugs. Certainly one would
need the pedal cluster, cables, trans module, flex plate, trans & converter,
starter (maybe?), rear mount hardware, etc. Then there's the column shift
issue with auto CJs & YJs, but one could maybe swap in a Lokar or Art Carr
floor shifter.
