TJ transmission swap

[Sid1966]

would like to swap my 3 sp auto with aw4 in my 97 tj have seen info on other sites about this swap when the tj had a 5 sp but the kicker is the wiring harness on the aw4 ,i have looked at 4 different service manuals 2 of them factory manuals the colours dont match my harness not even close.could a guy just ditch all the computer and run the solinoids on the trans with electric switches?

Yes, you can set the aw4 up to shift manually with a series of switches. There used to be a guy online selling a rotary switch to shift the aw4 but I think he's gone. Check out the rail shifter here: Shift Controllers

Good choice on an auto, the aw4 is a good transmission.
