Question and Answer / Re: 4.0 flexplate

Mine is from a 93. And that's kind of what I was figuring I would have to do as far as the flexplate goes.

I had them made, they do really good work, I've used them a couple of times.  Solid back, kind of a clear 3D covering to them, they arrive pretty quickly for being done overseas.  Used them also for my steering wheel center cap.

Understood. Follow up question. What year fuel injection stuff are you using? 87-90, 91-95, or 97-06?

Seems like your options are either forking out hundreds to swap to a front mounted CPS or use the Cherokee flex plate redrilled to the Eagle torque converter bolt pattern.

I gathered that from this thread, but it's a little bit of a cluster f.

I have the wiring harness for an ax-15 manual transmission and I'm only planning on using the 998 as a temporary deal. I have to move in a month and a half and I would like to have the car drivable before then, so I don't have time to get another transmission and modify a bunch of other stuff to make that work. Also I don't have a ton of money I can throw at it and still be able to move.

If I were you, I'd consider swapping to the Jeep auto trans too and gain the overdrive.

Ooh, that looks pretty nice. Another 1980, too. And did you make those center caps?

Question and Answer / 4.0 flexplate
Last post by maddog - May 12, 2025, 08:36:11 PM
I have a question for those of you that have a 4.0 fuel injection system in your eagle and used the 998 transmission. Did you use the Cherokee flex plate with the crank position sensor ring? If so did you modify it to fit the eagle torque converter or did you get a torque converter for a different vehicle?

Quote from: 89 MJ on May 12, 2025, 12:13:25 AMI like the idea of keeping the stick wheel covers and adding whitewalls. Or adding wires with whitewalls.
The turbines don't look bad with whitewalls wither, at least on Cherokees.


And these were the wires I was thinking of.


There's just something about the stick hubcaps I don't really like.
