tarmac2dirt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello, have a question on AX15's. Are there other ax15 trans that will work on the jeep Comanche. Mine specific is a 1988 2wd 4L that I want to keep 2wd but install a stronger trans and later install a 8.8 rear. Are there more to look at other than jeeps that have ax15 trans. Will the dodge Dakota work with the correct jeep bell housing? Just trying to get info before I head off to the salvage yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If you have a 1988 Comanche, you do not have an AX-15 (unless it was swapped in by someone). The '88s used the Peugeot BA 10/5 transmission (with the 4.0L) or the AX-5 (with the 2.5L). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY-J24 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I know the ba10 is poor (currently ditching mine) but is the ax5 actually bad? I haven't heard too much about it. *Scratch that didn't realize he didn't have a 2.5l. So ax5 doesn't apply for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggilez Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 yes a dakota ax15 will work but you need a jeep bellhousing, but what eagle has said is also true. also if you feel like doing unnecessarily large amount of work some toyota pick-ups/supras came with a variety of the ax15 that can be modified to fit.

tarmac2dirt Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for the quick answers. I thought the dodge ax15 would work, just wasn't positive. I'm going to keep looking for the complete 2wd jeep setup though (trans w/ bell housing) and hope to find a external slave cyl. It's time for a new clutch, so I thought I would gather up the ax15 parts before the clutch job. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Some later model XJs used the NV3550. It is comparable to the AX15. I don't know specific years. I adapted one for use in my CJ7 out of a late model XJ and it bolted up to a 91 XJ motor. May open up your search pattern to include later XJ manual trans 2wd.
