Below is the need to know for this Jeep Wrangler JK HEMI conversion kit:

This is a complete install kit only for your selected model of Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU. This is for yourself or a shop near you to perform the install. No labor is included in this price.

The Install Kit contains a brand new Crate Engine, a brand new 8 Speed Transmission, necessary OEM parts, and the applicable custom install parts curated by Dakota Customs.

If you have selected a 2012-2018 JK/JKU that has an existing automatic transmission, you will need to purchase a different transfer case in order to use the 8 Speed Transmission. You can use the Manual Transmission Transfer Case from a 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU or any transfer case from a 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU. Alternatively, you can order and use an Atlas transfer case. The proper information for ordering an Atlas case can be provided at your request. The transfer case is NOT included in this install kit purchase due to varying customer needs and preferences.

If your Jeep has an existing manual transmission, your install kit will include the necessary parts to change to an automatic transmission. This will include the automatic style brake pedal/pivot, the center console top shifter section and the automatic style master cylinder reservoir.

The 8 Speed upgrade works with either existing manual transmission or automatic transmission Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU.
