TrailReadyMJ Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Before I buy one new I figured I'd check to see if anyone happens to have a aw4 torque converter lying around from an XJ? All years of the 4.0 auto use the same converter. I know these rarely go out, but mine is making sore bad noise...at least I'm 90% sure that's where it's coming from.

xjtrailrider Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I had one but its going in my Jeep right now. Mine went out as well. It was slipping and causing the tranny to run 300 degrees even with two coolers and a fan on one of the coolers. I couldn't keep the tranny cool at all. You might find one at Dominion's pic and save. The last time I was there there were a couple of XJ's with the engines out and the TC was exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailReadyMJ Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks Jon, I might check with them. I just have to decide if it's worth the labor to do it twice if it is faulty, so it'll have to be cheap! Mine also started running hot at around 220-230 when under a heavier load and after longer drives. Also the noise is temperature related and doesn't do it cold, so it makes sense. I have an aftermarket cooler that has always kept it under 180 until recent. That helps raise the 90% chance to about 99%...I might just go ahead and order a new or remanufactured one since that pretty much has to be it!

YJeXtreme Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 If you go new, check with F&L converters in Vinton... Great prices, local compant, i've bought quite a bit from them over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
