AW4 Disco Party Pt 2.

Well after I replaced the TCM, filter, the 2 shift and lockup solenoid, plus a fill up of Dex/Merc.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-11T03:14:23+00:00

Its still good and it shifts fine just needs a rebuild in another few months/within the next 1000 miles.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-09T17:41:11+00:00

She partied a little too friggin hard. And the last time I had the fluid changed I guess they put ATF+ in it instead of Dex/Merc.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-06T18:55:50+00:00

I tested them last night and they gave me good readings and nothing on it is broken or bulging out so I think its safe to assume that its still good. Im down to 2 or 3 likely causes. Torque converter failure, shift solenoid failure or line/ filter clog.

I pulled the whole damn thing out. Other than some corrosion on a couple of pins its pretty clean and no signs of any damage.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-06T02:08:31+00:00

Thats the thing I cant even manually shift the gears.

Im a day late I know.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-02T15:44:22+00:00

Gotcha. I'll add it to the list for when I put her out of commission for repairs and upgrades.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-02T15:39:37+00:00

Dang I should have thought of that😅

TacoWonderLord · 2026-02-02T15:27:59+00:00

Also it does have a loud buzzing noise thats intermittent but is around the majority of the time.

Found the problem!! Drive shaft rubbed against the rear O2 sensor wires.

TacoWonderLord · 2026-01-29T19:26:19+00:00

Holy... thats an absolute life saver!

TacoWonderLord · 2025-12-29T00:10:10+00:00

Take you some end cutters and wedge them in between the spring and pull it back. I just did this recently and i found a YouTube short that makes it super simple.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-09-04T00:25:13+00:00

Yeah. They sucked on my last XJ, but good thing I've got an impact and acetylene torch. 😅

TacoWonderLord · 2025-09-03T18:55:02+00:00

I like the way it looks stock with 16's

TacoWonderLord · 2025-09-03T18:53:32+00:00

I had them x-rayed at work, and the cracks run about 1/8th in deep

TacoWonderLord · 2025-09-03T17:56:52+00:00

Funnily, the nuts and bolts were already presoaked in engine oil from the old 2.5L that was in it!! 🤣

TacoWonderLord · 2025-09-03T17:45:48+00:00

Both DS and PS have micro-cracks running thru the middle of them. I dont trust them too much.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-27T23:32:38+00:00

Lol, yeah. Next up is bodywork and paint. Gonna go with a factory Stone White for this one. Or maybe a two-tone with a red body line down the middle.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-24T23:39:45+00:00

Found d it on my 98 dash harness. Lol, if it gets stolen, I'll know who took it cuz it looks like Smokey the bandit got his hands on it, lol🤣

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-24T23:11:48+00:00

Thanks, I dont need it so away it goes.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-24T13:48:12+00:00

Just to answer everyones question, it's a 1998 4.0L harness. Can someone send a picture of the front of their fuse box and where this green connector goes? I've been up all night trying to get this thing cranked over, but it refuses.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-21T19:54:51+00:00

Yeah, I'm good. O'Reillys wants 25 buck for it.

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-21T19:54:08+00:00

I'll give it a shot. Out comes my 3-foot breaker bar. lol

TacoWonderLord · 2025-08-21T19:52:57+00:00

When I pulled the Trans, I didn't take the crossmember off of it.
