Get a AW4 auto with case and solve that! (15% drop in RPM I guesstimate) From: "Ken Gaines" Speaking of automatic transmissions....I am about to do a swap in the CJ from POS T-4 to AMC 727/Dana 300 driveline components. I am sick and tired of the T-4 rattling and generally performing poorly when I need it to work. I have 3.08 gears in the CJ axles and I am wondering if the RPMs will drop with the new transmission. I want the 65mph RPMs to come down some. I have all the parts I need to complete this swap...I just need the time to do it. Oh...I know that the clocking of the 727 T/C adapter is different from that of the POS T-4. Several sources have told me that simply omitting the offset "clocking" bolt is the way to overcome this problem. Are there any other little oddities that I need to know BEFORE I get the T-4 transmission out of the CJ? My driveshafts will be a little short (AFAICT) but that is a problem that will be dealt with when I get the new shafts made next week. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
