Can a 1988 Jeep Cherokee straight 6 5 speed transmission fit in a '86 Jeep Cherokee straight 6?

Answer 1

If they are manual then the '88 car would have been supplied with a Peugeot BA10/5

the '86 car a Borg-Warner T5

to be honest I'm not sure if these are interchangeable but I would have thought so since there were no major design changes as far as I know between the '86 cars and the '88 cars

If the '86 car is an auto 'box then it would have been supplied with the 3 speed Chrysler A904 I think?

I couldn't tell you if the 5 speed manual would fit in the '86 if the '86 is an auto

However I think that manual for manual should be interchangeable

By the way, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm right

Answer 2

I am not sure but i would be pretty sure that it wouldnt. I would see no reason to do that connection though as you will be losing power because the gearing ratio on that tranny is made for the 304 v-8 that came with the cj-7. the 4.0 wont push those gears as well as it does the tranny that was made for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the 4.0, 258(4.2), 304, 360 and 401 amc/Jeep motors all share the same bellhousing pattern. with modern fuel injection the 4.0 (imo) as much power as a stock 304 v8. the gearing may be a little tall but I think it would be liveable Mike

Answer 3

call auto salvage yard they have the interchange books yes if they both have the same transmissions the rule of thumb is 1984-1994 are the same and 1995-2001 are the same

Answer 4

It's not a bolt-in, but you can buy adapters for anything.

Answer 5

Probably, but it will most likely require an adapter plate for the bellhousing.

Answer 6

absolutley. should slide right in.

Answer 7

no
