Hi, i´m writing from italy..sorry for my bad english.
I have a cherokee SJ 80 with an italian engine is a VM 4200cc TD, i have more than 230hp and a very good torque..now i have installed a manual T176 with NP208;

i woul like install the automatic AW4 with a NP242 and after the "aw shifting" (www.awshifting.com).
The question is: do you think the AW4 resist at the torque of my engine (my turbo is regulated at 1,9 Atm)? i also run with 35".
There are some "optional" to buy for improve the resistance of AW4?
thanks

I have read that Toyota used the aw4 on the twin-turbo supra, so I think if you buy the upgrade kit for the aw4, it would be able to handle at least 400lb/ft of torque(I don't know the conversion into newton/meters). I haven't heard of VM--do they make good engines?
