Tracker 자동4단 미션 스왚 해외 문서

[박기영]

트랙커 미션은 2가지 종류가 있습니다.

자동 3단 미션은 GM TH180 3L30 이며 자동 4단은 일본 AISIN 사의 03-72LE 미션 입니다.

미션고장으로 수리 하느니 아예 자동 4단으로 스왚하는 방법도 연구해 보셔요.

국내 차종에 사용하는 미션이니깐 중고 많이 있을것 같은데.

잘 마추면 좋은 결과 얻을수 있지 않을까 생각 됩니다.

아마도 제 생각인데 최고속력이 많이 증가 할것 같은데요..

이러다 진짜 올드카 슈퍼카 되는건 아닌지..

테라칸 250 모델이 일본 aisin 사의 03-72LE 미션을 사용하고 있습니다.

스포티지 구형도 위 미션을 사용하고 있습니다.

스왑하실분은 좀 더 연구 하셔서 해 보심도 좋을듯 합니다.

4sp OD MOD Replacement

---

If you're looking for a way to put a 4 speed OD tranny into your 2D TracKick, but haven't because you don't have (or want) a TCU, I happened upon a post on some small Australian BBS that said the '90 to '5/94 Mitsubish Pajero/Montero 2.6L L4 - 3.0L V6 (4X4) used a mechanically shifted version of the Aisin Warner 03-72LE. Near as I can tell, the Mitsubishi AW372L is the only version of the 03-72LE that [a] is a non-electronic shifted [b] has a lockup TQ, and [c] came in a 4x4 (short output shaft). And best of all, the bell housing, t-case adapter, and torque converter from the 03-72LE are boltups. It even has the dipstick on the same side as the 03-72LE. You just need to swap the housings out, replace the output shaft seal and move the AT shifter to the passenger's side. Of course, the 4sp OD tranny is a couple inches longer than the 3sp, but that is beyond the scope of this post.

There are some Volvo 4 speeds that are not computer controlled. You can swap the trackick bellhousing onto it. There are some writeups/info on it on zuwharrie.com

A :

Yep... but the Volvo trannys (03-71L) are all 2wd. They work great if you plan to run a divorced t-case with a jack-shaft. But in order to use one in a married application, the output shaft has to be shortened and a custom adapter be made.

The AW372L (03-72L), however, is essentially the same transmission as the Suzuki's 03-72LE (found in 4d TracKicks and X90s). The only real difference is the 03-72LE is electronic and the AW372L is mechanical. Both bell housings and t-case adapters are fully interchangable. It is a virtually bolt-in setup, requiring very little in the way of mods past the tranny/t-case to make it work.

And as an added bonus, the AW372L factory t-case adapter uses the 'New Process' 6 bolt pattern that the Dana300/Atlas t-cases use and the tranny will also accept t-case adapters from the Jeep AW4 and the Toyota A44DL, opening up the TracKick to a whole host of new t-case options.

i have been doing alot of research on the volvos and they do have some issues for my application, this is very interesting to me. i see you are currently doing this swap. do you know if the output mates properly with the track/kick transcase or are there modes to do,any pics on work you have done so far or how about a link to the info you found, any help would be great.you said something about swaping out cases were you talking about the tranny case or something else? thanks.i am currently putting together a 2.3l for a modified lj10 and would like to use a 4spd auto.

Well sami... the mod I'm doing is marrying the AW372L to a Dana 300 rather than the stock TracKick t-case and then install the combo into a '96 2D Tracker, so I didn't put much time into researching mods different from the one I'm doing, but I will try to answer your questions.

What I was saying is that it was possible for TracKick owners to use the AW372L as the basis for any number of engine or t-case swaps (with relatively standard fare mods) since its not electronically controlled, has interchangable bell and tail housings with other MFG vehicles, and already has the short 4wd output shaft.

In the first photo, the TracKick's tranny is on the left and the Montero tranny is on the right. Both have their factory adapters still attached in their stock configuration.

In the next couple photos, I swapped the adapters. The Suzuki transmission readily accepted the Montero's adapter, but the Suzuki adapter didn't fully seat on the Montero tranny. If you look on the inside the TracKick 03-72LE/t-case adapter, you'll notice there's a slight ridge on the base and an electronic pickup on the wall. Both of these will have to be removed as they interfere with the AW372L's governor. You should also note that the output shaft seals have different OD and will require you to locate a suitable replacement.

In the final photo, you can easily see that the two output housing bolt patterns are identical. However, you can also see that the same cannot be said for the output shafts. While both shafts have the same length (2.25") and are the same diameter where they exit the transmission, the Montero shaft has is 1 3/16" diameter thick throughout whereas the TracKick shaft starts out with a 1 3/16" thick diameter near the transmission and then tapers down to 15/16" diameter where it fits into the TracKick t-case input shaft.

I haven't done much research on output shafts for these transmissions yet, but I did speak with Dave Ostermiller over at Novak Conversions and was told that if they didn't already have an adapter/shaft that would work for your mod, they might be willing to make it if they had enough interest (around 15-20 preorders to justify the cost of tooling).

Hope this helps.

C:

yes it does, thanks my biggest concern was spline size and count. i will have to pick up a tranny and see about having the shaft turned and resplined then heat treaded agian, or by chance see if the shafts will interchange, but i dont think they will because of the governor. they wont with the volvo tranny.thanks for your time and input

 A:

One final thought sami. I already had a 03-72LE from a '99 Tracker that I bought as a core for $25. I knew that whatever I eventually came up with, I would need alot of parts from a LE to make this mod work and a core tranny would save me time and money in the long run. I suggest you do the same. Just make sure that when you go to buy your core, you do like I did and take everything!!! I took all the cables, the shift lever, the tranny hoses, the flywheel... I even took those two adapters on either side of the flywheel and all the brackets.

Good luck with your LJ10. Sounds like a fun project.

It has been correctly pointed out to me in PM that this is not correct. The Aisin Warner AW4/30-40LE/A340 series and the AW372L/03-72L/A44DL series transmissions have completely different bell and t-case adapter bolt patterns, so the housings are NOT interchangable. Sorry for the mis-information.

I know it's been awhile but day-to-day stuff has been keeping me from working on this project. Here are some updated info/photos of what I've accomplished so far.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768 and weights 165KB.

Here the two trannys are sitting side by side. While the engine side of the bellhousing bolt patterns are obviously different, if you look close you'll see the tranny sides are the same. You'll also see that the front pump housings are identical. In fact, when compared to a non-lockup Volvo AW72, I found they both had a little "L" whereas the Volvo tranny did not. Possible casting mark indicating its a lockup???

Anyway, after unbolting the bellhousings, they slid off with minor assistance from a rubber mallet. A couple of notes here: 1). There is an o-ring seal that sits between the bellhousing and the main housing that can be damaged and is probably difficult to replace. 2). The Suzuki housing has a sensor on the left side that MUST be removed previous to attempting to slide the housing off (I mistakenly disassembled the Suzuki's pump before I figured that out).

The Sidekick's 03-72LE bellhousing slipped easily onto the Montero's AW372L main body with no help from any 'gentle persuader' and bolted down without incident. Here's a shot of the AW372L tranny with the 03-72LE bell housing bolted in place.

OK... here's were I eat a bit of crow. Earlier in this post I made the claim that the output housing on the Montero tranny would accept the D300/Atlas t-case directly. This is ALMOST correct. The bolt patterns and the shaft sizes are identical, but the cup inside the stock Montero adapter is too shallow by approximately 1/2". I ordered the #153 clocking ring kit from Novak Adapters (http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/kit_153.htm) for around $80. Perfect fit, fixed the depth issue, and I now have the ability to clock the t-case.

Here's the gravy. That's a bone-stock Dana 300 (think Atlas doubler), married to the back end of a NON-ELECTRONIC shifted 4sp OD AT tranny, bolted to the back of a stock 1.6L 16v Suzuki Sidekick engine, and all done with OFF-THE-SHELF parts. It uses the stock 03-72LE flywheel, torque converter and starter. The output seal on the tranny is the stock Montero seal. Also, the overall length is roughly about the same as the stock Suzuki 5sp/t-case setup, so no extensive mods are required for this conversion.

There are some issues, to be sure.

·       The tranny mount needs to be reworked (planned on making new x-member anyway).

·       The shift arm is on the opposite side (swappable from 03-72LE).

·       The kick-down cable needs to be changed(swappable from 03-72LE).

·       The sensor hole in the bellhousing needs to be plugged.

Just make sure the two transmissions you start with are COMPLETE. That means TAKE EVERYTHING and cut NOTHING. The trannys are compatible but NOT identical. You will need parts from both to make this mod work.

My next mod will be to make a new flat x-member to mount to the stock TracKick frame mounting locations.

좀더 빨리 알았다면 제 트랙 밋션 올수리때 함시도 해봤을텐데요..거금2백 넘게 들갔거든요..쩝!

[박기영]

으악 미안요..
아마도 시도해볼 회님이 나오지 않을까요?

[카리스마]

4단으로 스왑되면 연비에도 영향을 미칠텐데여..

[박기영]

연비 많이 좋아질것 같은데요.

[엠제이]

혹시 진짜로 스왑 성공한 분 계시면 대박이겠네요.
그럼 본인도 바로 갈아탔니다.
