[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 430571, member: 19498"] I believe that it will, or had the Peugeot BA series trans. Know as very weak and only used for a short time due to its lack of longevity. A leak? maybe the rear main instead or could be seals only?? the 4.2 is the long used 258 jeep engine. Good engine but the carbs and emissions systems can be pretty problematic. Suspension issues? Like what? you need to get specific details on that can of worms. My take on this cause you asked. Either a D35 or AMC 20 will not be happy with 35's. Stock gears still running 35's? good luck with that combo. How much lift to clear them 35's, 6" lift? I assume he installed a SYE kit? The BA Trans...ask how many times its been rebuilt and then plan on junking it sooner than later if its still in it. I see two scenarios here. #1 its heavily modded,gearing,lift, drive line upgrades,better trans and lots of $$ invested to accommodate the mods and your not providing those details. #2 its a mall crawler deathtrap that needs much to be a safe vehicle or trail worthy rig that dosent self destruct if used for in the dirt. Not to be snarky but is your wife savvy to what this thing, or any Jeep with similar mods will ride and handle like,just asking. [/QUOTE]
