    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.

    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 $$.

    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

    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
