JEEP 4.0L AUTOMATIC ADAPTER FLEX PLATE
SENSOR KIT 1997-2004
SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of
the components will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete
your conversion, we strongly recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly
of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams
and other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships and parts stores.
3. Use a cutting disc in an angle grinder or a saber saw, cut the window of the bellhousing. Please be careful not
to remove too much material. Always use proper safety gear while removing the material.
4. Test fit the clearance of the bellhousing indicated and the sensor bracket until proper clearance is achieved.
5. Mount the adapter kit to the engine as instructed on the 716138 instruction sheet. Install the flat head cap screw
to the sensor bracket with loctite, slip the sensor into the bracket and loosely install the socket head bolt in place
also with a touch of loctite on the threads.
6. We do not use the mounting hole on this sensor, it is a clamp fit; however, you will need to set the gap on the sensor
to the flex plate before tightening the sensor in place.
7. Some sensors have a felt pad glued to the bottom of the sensor, on these sensors the felt pad is the spacing
(air gap) that is required. So this sensor would be set by having the felt pad touching the flex plate. If the sensor
does not have the felt pad then you will need to set the air gap to .030 to .035" which is basically the thickness
of a credit card. Once the air gap is set, the sensor needs to be clamped into position. Note: since we are not
using the stock mounting hole on the sensor it can be cut off or it will need to be positioned so it is facing
towards the transmission. If the sensor is not clamped in this direction, it will not clear the bellhousing
modifications you made earlier.
8. Make sure the sensor is clamped in tight as the clamp screw is not accessible once the GM transmission is
bolted in place.
9. Connect the sensor plug to your stock computer lead. (2003 & 2004 Jeeps see notes page 3)
