3 separate switches - 1 for each gear? I think it would be better to have one switch...that way there's no chance of locking two gears at the same time.

there are 3 solenoids in the trans, 1 for 1st and 2nd, 1 for 3rd and 4th, and 1 to lock/unlock the torque converter
So how's this supposed to work? Put the shifter in D then energize the solenoid for the gear you want?
did it break from the driveshaft maxing out (on angle) or from torque? Look at the D-Shaft to see if the ears are bent from being at max flex. The might of tried to drop while you were on the gas...
put a 1" engine lift on to fix the driveshaft if that might be a contributor
I'd just do the torques converter lock one. Can you select first gear with the shifter?
As for the doubler and d300, I thought you didn't want to build this thing too much. You'll have close to a grand into the doubler and plenty of time by the time you get everything done. If you want to spend some time and money on it build those axles you have and put a muffler on.
I think someone said St. John might have a rear 44 with 4.56 gears in it laying around.
you're not the only one...`cept dont think he fixed this w/ a bottle jack
thats the owner on the right

aw4 only shifts electronically when in drive, the rest of the gears are manually controlled. If you really want to go paddle shift I can rig something, but switches to shift the transmissoin sounds dumb.
on the 231, do a slip yoke eliminator and be done with it. It has a lower gear than the 300 anyway.
barely lower, 2.7 vs 2.6, and the 300 is stronger and has more upgrades. and there is a company that makes the switch pannel for the aw4 that goes somewhere near the center console. its a knob that you turn i believe. i haven't looked for it for a while but a few years ago people were going crazy over it.
does it go up to 11?
wagoneer 208 and doubler would be best

I think the main thing with the switches for the tranny is for the torque converter lock up. so its like a "manual tranny".. my cousin was thinkin about doing the same thing, hasn't done it yet though. I'd do it if it didn't cost too much $$.

i actually thought that would be funny to find and hook up to my dash
its not hard or expensive to do it all yourself for the "manual trans" buttons, there are tons of write ups on how to do it, maybe $20 for all the material needed
I say do it if you have the time. it can't hurt anything.
231 for you: http://www.texas4x4.org/showthread.php?t=26460
well i found another tcase a while back from a tj with an advance adapters sye already installed but not wheeled with, bought that and tried to install it but the input shaft was too long, so i took that and cut it down to match my old one, everything bolted right up.
Now i need a new rear driveshaft, i tried to put my front on the rear but at ride height, it was maxed out
is there another application that is slightly longer than a stock xj front
cut it and retube
I think the stock 2 door xj front drive shaft was longer. Should be what your lookin for.
also picked up a fuel cell a while back since the old pump decided to take a crap on me at trees, still need to install that, going to run the inline ford fuel pump
removed the rear half of the carpet and the headliner
hooked up the in line fuel pump and some lines to the fuel cell, she fired up and i was able to drive around witht he front wheels
thinking about mounting the fuel cell crossways behind the rear seat like so, need to get some better fuel lines tho
every time i make progress it seems somthing else comes up,
i made some hard lines for the fuel cell
got the rear drive shaft lengthened and installed, once installed i noticed a crunching sound, decided to pull the diff cover to look see, couldnt get all the bolts off, but was able to see in there and all the welds are broken in there
so my list for clayton as of now
reweld rear axle
mount fuel cell and add supports
run vent line
rework steering
install new cb
So after making an extra air vent through the bottom of the motor and sitting for a year, the XJ finally went towards the bright light in the sky and there is no turning around for it. I am going to pull the good usable parts and scrap/sell the rest. Going to keep the tcase, tires, fuel cell and front axle. If anyone wants anything let me know.
My neighbor was selling a 94 YJ on 33's with a 4.0 and AX15 for the right price and this will be the new play toy.
i bet karl could use the rear springs
