Aw4 is simple. Can be adapted easily. As for shifting many people go simple and make it a full manual so you have to shift it through each gear. Others use a compushift or similar controller. Which uses CAN inputs and shifts like a normal auto trans.

Just want to throw this out there, we are offering custom aluminum cast bellhousings for the AX-15 / NV3550 and the NV 4500. Our kits are currently the strongest and lowest cost option to mate these transmissions to the R2.8 on the market right now. Check them out here : Farmstronginc.com
Let us know if you have any questions!
We are also looking for suggestions for our next adapter kits. We are thinking AW4 will be a popular option for Jeeps for guys who want to stay auto.

I am new to the forum. I am considering an R2.8 Repower of a 1956 Willy’s Wagon. The current drivetrain is an orphan child. 283 small block, T18, divorced NP205 and FJ40 axles. Everything is up for grabs. I was thinking R2.8 with a new H55F and Toyota transfer case and keeping the FJ axles. The rig will get a lot of highway use and some moderate wheeling. I live in Crested Butte Colorado. Any good adapters for this setup or any better setup suggestions. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello, I’m new to this group, I have an 84 Bronco With a 300 six and C6 on 33’s zero lift. Advance adapters says they have nothing for the C6 so I’m wondering about options. I haven’t purchased the 2.8 yet but this is the future plan. I’m building this as a Father Son overland rig as I’m now retired from the Marines and am making up for lost time! Any info will be greatly appreciated.

You can also get a Ford T19 or even convert a 2WD T19 to 4WD with parts that are available.
We considered all of these options when repowering our ScoutII, and ended up going with a modern five speed in the end.
