I have a 1988 MJ with the 2.5L, the 5-Speed Manual AX5, and it is 2WD.
From looking through the factory parts manual, it appears that the AX5 transmission for my application changed on 10/4/88 and I'm not sure of the build date of this Jeep. This transmission was used on all MJ's and XJ's from 87-90, but there are two different ones used.
Questions:
1. Would it matter which version I sourced? Are they interchangeable? How can you tell what the differences are?
2. My '88 is 2WD. Does it matter if I get a replacement one that was mated to a transfer case?
Thanks
