How's an Atlas for long road miles?

[glockman]

Option 3.5 , 6.0, 4l60E? you are more than half way there

 

[DAA]

^^^^^^ That second half is a bitch though...

[jeeper]

I am sorry you are going through this. I hate the feeling of sinking money and time into the not fun items.

 

[Gravy]

Can they not weld the front case half? I cracked a NV3550 bellhousing on a rock long ago and had the crack welded up.

I'll buy you a beer

When it rains it pours. This is a big bummer.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Ah man, that is a bummer to hear.

 

[DaveB]

Too bad my son just sold an NV4500 with the low first gear.

They can, and will, as a last resort. For how much that would cost though, we'd rather find a good used one.

[UNSTUCK]

Sure wish I was ready for my LS swap. I'll be getting rid of every part you need.

 

[Herzog]

I'll buy you a beer

And put another for him on my tab.

 

[gertsch]

I know its and automatic. But how about an aw4 swap? plenty of used ones. super easy to wire in.

 

[DAA]

I don't have a problem with an automatic in general. But I got the six speed just because test driving the same Jeep with an 42RLE it was a gear hunting dog.

An AW4 would be cheaper than just about any other swap though I bet. For the transmission itself at least. It's the conversion stuff that eats up time and money. I think I'd have to spend more than the AW4 on getting my drive shafts lengthened and shortened (again), relocating the CPS, maybe changing out the transfer case input depending on what year, sorting out the console and what not. End of the day, lot more work, not that much less money.

If wishes was fishes, and all that, I'd be stoked to swap over to a newer GM automatic. But, that ain't happening.

[Hickey]

The 42RLE sucked balls in the LJ I had for a short time. The AW4 is a much better trans, in my opinion. That really doesn't help your situation at this point, as it isn't cost effective at this point.

Yeah I'm not really sure what the length difference is between the nsg and the aw4. Most of my experience with swapping the aw4 was pre 2000 vehicles.

 

[_Auzzy_]

Mine did OK till the front synchros crapped out for no reason and turned my case more glittery than the floor of a strippers changing room.

 

[Mouse]

DAA - did you get this all resolved and jeep back on the road?

 

[DAA]

Afraid not. Hoping to at least have the transmission fixed by end of next week. But I've been hoping that every week for a long time now.

[Mouse]

Hope you've got the trans sorted by now
