I have a 84 xj with a 2.5L and a 5 speed manual tranny in it and a 89 cherokee with a 4.0L and a automatic tranny. can the 5 speed be bolted to the 4.0L without major modifacations?

hey where do you live because i need a 2.5 for my 84 also

I live in tri cities washington. there is something wrong with the 2.5L I have it wont stay in time and the gears and chain are fine.

cuz i got my xj from my uncle for free its in very good condition the interior is not riped just needs clutch brake job and engine i could get another one for 450 but wanted to hunt for another one the i live in los angeles the closest i can go is salem oregon cuz i got family there

I dont think you want this motor unless u plan on a complete rebuild. there is play in the pistons and it is in pieces right now. has bout 250,000 miles on it.

oh ok never mind

Check witch 5 speed you have in the 2.5 some of the early 5er were a bit weak for the 6 banger.
If you got to have that OD then a NV3500/3550 or the AX15 hold up well and drop in (more or less). Else some of the "T"s are rock sold.
You could be a real man and get a NV4500 I did The new 6 speed with that sweet 4.5 to 1 first gear is holding up nicely too. At least I have not read a lot of bad mouthing anyway. Luck
