Hi,
New here and I have done a basic search but does anyone make an adapter kit to mate the om617 to the aw4 using the jeep torque converter? I would be using an adapter to shift the aw4 instead of using the TCU. |

The details should be pretty easy to dig up online. Once you know the details it shouldn't be too hard to make a tip-tronic type "clutchless manual" shifting setup - or even a standard H pattern "clutchless manual" arrangement... |
I drove the MerJeep to work , first trip going that far(12 miles one way). Last night I flushed some seafoam through it and changed the fuel filters, the engine ran quite a bit smoother. On the way home from work, it ran rougher and was ticking. I am going to do a valve adjustment tomorrow and see if that helps. It may just need to be ran for a while, I don't know how long the car sat before I got it. All in all, i'm very happy with it so far. Thanks again to all of you for your assistance, I appreciate it.

What kind of "adapter"? The AW4 shifting is really pretty simple to control. IIRC it has 4 shift solenoids - 3 for forward gears and one for reverse. Energize solenoid 1 and it goes into 1st, de-energize solenoid 1 and energize solenoid 2 to shift into 2nd, energize 1 and 2 to get 3rd, and energize all 3 forwardd solenoids to get OD. De-energize all 3 forward solenoids and energize the reverse solenoid to shift to reverse.

What I need to find is someone who has adapters to mate the AW4 to the OM617. Anyone who knows of an adapter that is proven I would love to hear from you. Sorry for the thread drift BTW. |
