what do i do???

ive compleatly killed the auto box in the zj. 1st an 2nd are non exhistant after i made it get me off the motorway!!!! an 3rd is still there but not much use after doing abouty another 100mile.

DO I;

a.     rebuild the box?
b.     source another one?
c.     does an AW4 for a xj fit as a plug an play option? (ive got one spare)

your opinions will be appreciated!!!!

rebuilding an auto box can be a pain in the arse especially if you haven't done one before, what you could do is put in a replacement and learn how to build an auto with the damaged one.
 if your swapping like for like then it would be a plug in and go

The 42RE and AW4 have different bolt patterns, so you need the XJ transfer case too. Oh, and a new PCM.

The AW4 is controlled by it's own control module under the dash / firewall area - it just needs a couple of electrical inputs from other sensors. I don't know exactly which inputs but it must be throttle position sensor as one. I'd be interested if you go this route and get the AW4 working from these inputs.

I got a 42re transfer box kicking about if youare interested in that

well ive rebuilt quite a few fork lift auto boxes but they're a compleatly different breed of fish to the ones in cars.

yer panic im interested, have you got a price for the box an xfer?
an please don't tell me your in wales or anywhere near london!!!!

if itwas just a case swaping the pcm an tcm i'd give it a go but it doesn't look like it an right now can't be doing with the hassle an down time of it, altho i do have a full donor xj

is it definate i can't fit a xj 242 to the 42re as i really want the 2wd option!!??
