Time to buy a 5.3 and a 4l60e out of a early 2000 chevy. I know where one is in a Jeep to take a look at as well.

TF999 and be done. Three speed, no electronics
The AW4 will work but using one from an XJ the t-case will be at a different angle. Find one from a YJ. Also the AW4 has a write up somewhere else about two or three wire hookup for it to work. This from research I did when looking into options for mine before I found an engine.

Looking into a 32rh. If that fails I'll go with the aw4, the TF999 will be too difficult to find but would be nice to get a hold of.

32rh would be nice. Aside from lockup there's no electronics. Let's face it, tons of cars are running around with lockup converters unplugged. Yours will be another one.

I haven't researched but what does a converter not locking up do? Acts like a non lockup converter. A conventional torque converter does not physically lock together therefore you have a slight difference between input and output speeds. A lockup converter uses an electric signal to lock dropping your engine speed around 100 rpms. It's not uncommon for them to start trying to stay locked in causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. Instead of pulling the transmission all you have to do is catch it not acting up and unplug it.

Some lockup converters like in a 700R actually helps cool the fluid to reduce temps and wear. May all be the same way, don't know. Most a simple toggle switch is all you need to lock the Convertor. You just have to remember to unlock it too.

This thing won't ever need the converter to lock. It's gonna get the aw4 with no computer connected to it and te manual shift option. I refuse to wire in a tranny.

The only wiring on the 32rh are the TC lockup and the neutral safety switch.

It's an Automatic trans? The more I look into this the more I'm kicking myself in the damn ass for getting rid of the ax15. It seems that no matter which way I go with the aw4 it'll be a pain in the ass to install. Even with the modification of being able to manually shift it, the TCM still needs to be wired into place. The manual shift option does no good because all it does is allow you to choose what gear it stays in, or out of. The easiest thing for me to do is either the 32rh or the TF999. If I didn't mind doing all the painstaking wiring for the aw4 I'd install it, but I really, really, really don't want that headache. So, if there's a 32rh or TF999 available please let me know.

I've beat on my 32rh for years. No issues. It is about as simple as they come.
