So, I spoke to the transmission shop that does A/Ts for the off road shops here and has worked on bunches of the AW4s for Jeeps and Toys. He asked a bunch of questions but wanted to know what gearing I was going to run, what tire size, what [email]RPM@what[/email] speed when he found out what I already drive. Stuff I'd be asking if I were building a transmission for someone. Sounds like he knows what he's doing anyway. He strongly recommended running the Transgo 340-HD2 shift improver kit if I were going to run 37"s. His opinion was that w/ 4.90s or 5.13s and 37"s and the kit the transmission should have a nice long life. Oh, and a trans cooler. smile

So, I started reading about the Transgo kit.

Trans will stay in low gear with Lever in manual low position.


For you A/T drivers, if the Transgo kit allows you to lock in 1st, would there still be a benefit in having the Rail II installed?

And, I think I found a transmission. Going down to take a look tomorrow morning. Mitsu Montero Sport - manufacturer's tag is Asin Warner 30-43LE. Still have the Mitsu VIN tag, too.
