Hello I am brand new to this forum!! My name is Jayden and I’m 17, my first vehicle is a 1999 tj and we’ve had some problems with the factory 4.0, so instead of pulling it out and putting it in a 4th time or 5th time I have decided to put a TDI in it from a 2006 VW Jetta.(engine code BRM) I was wondering if anyone has done a swap like this and could give me some tips/tricks/diagrams/websites ETC.
This is my daily so I will be doing motor work on the tdi(freshening it up) and then pulling out the 4.0 and initialize the swap. It’s going to butt up against the automatic 3 speed that came with the jeep. It has been rebuilt and might have 5,000 miles on it by now. My goal is to have it done by summer of 2021 and drive it to school at the beginning of my senior year. With this jeep I go by built not bought so all the work has been done by me and my dad so I’d like to keep it that way with the exception of tuning and adapter plates.
