wow thanks comanche09! good find. My Brother in law has a toyota 5 speed here, but its from a 80s pick up... looks like it has the short shaft, maybe an up grade on down the road... as id have to have the parts from an ax-15 to hook up to my h.o., then it seems you can twin stick it as well, idk i just took a quick skim over the thread, but it is book marked

Is this right? I was looking on Ebay, for an ax-15, and one of the vendors had one without the bell housing. Listed for 90-up wrangler, and 88 up toyota. is this right? or could i get some clarification

probably not worth it anyway. Anyone want to buy a np249 or a good ba10/5 so i can buy a 4wd ax-15?

would the tail shaft/out put stuff from a ba10/5 work on a 2wd ax-15? reason i ask is because i found a 2wd ax-15, its the only thing hanging me up from finishing my HO swap. i doubt it will work, but maybe someone has tryed it?

so the H.O. Head can be placed on the renix block right? I've been wanting to do the HO swap, but ill have to find a CS bushing to fit my ba10/5, or find a ax-15, and neither is option is working out for me. Plus, I'm just wanting to get it running right, although i may be making more work for myself in the end, just seeing if anyone has done a head swap before.

my renix fuel pump should work with the HO engine, correct?

LOL DUH, nevermind, engine/transmission/xfer case out of the bay. ill have some pictures tomorrow hopefully. :thumbsup:

i can't get the internal slave lines off, the only thing left connected. how in the heck do they come off?

since i have a np231, will it still mate to the ax-15?

thanks pete, you may have saved me a huge headache(s) hmm so i need the pilot bearing from a 73 cj5 W/ 304 3 speed, and i need to do this ax15 swap... maybe someone is interested in trading some parts :(

well, since i'm going to be using my old flywheel, and clutch and transmission, i shouldnt have any trouble. I did some research, and it seems that when swapping the ba ---> ax15, thats when the bushing has to be swapped, and the HO block is the same as my renix block, so i should be ok. anyone else want to chime in? swapping a HO and keeping the peugot if youve done it. I've heard people say stay away from this transmission, but i havent seen exactly what fails on them?

oh no, i havent read that... custom pilot bushing? :doh: that doesnt sound likely though... at least not on a obd1 4.0? if i do end up swapping a transmission, it will probably be for an auto.

ok, i was a bit disheartend since i bought that zj, and finding the ground like that could have solved my problems. the wires arent corroded. found out the cam in the zj is more top end compared to mine. ill keep it that way since it might help fuel economy. staying with the 5 speed even tho its a peugot. pulling the engine and tranny together, but do i want to take off just the middle part of the front clip? any pictures showing what is taken off? I'm lookin for a HO tb spacer so i can drill and tap into it to get my renix tb mounted on the ho intake. i realize there isnt performance to be gained with this, but not having to customize a trashy tps sensor is my reason. anyone have one as a paper weight? ill trade. I'm tryin to build a toy hauler/exploration vehicle. i have a banshee, but no truck. 3" lift, 30-31" wider tires, a winch, some gears, and possibly a locker, then ill do the body work with updated front end.

so i bought the 95 zj, and havent brought it here yet, but i started to get everything out of the way in order to get the engine out. i took out the distributor, and behind it i see the ground shows bare wires! the insulation had turned into play-dough crap. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34156492@N ... otostream/ could that have been the cause of the misfire and crappy running? the oil was dirty but not contaminated with gas, and i had slowly but surely loosing oil pressure, and iwas thinking it was fuel thinning out the oil. i expected the oil to come out really "watery", but it came out normal. i hope i can still put the donor to good use. also, the throttle body on the zj is 180* compared to my renix... i think. it could just be what everyones been talking bout, retro fitting the TPS

so taking off the head and replacing the gaskets and valves and machine work would be cheaper than buying the zj ($400) and putting the short block in place inorder to keep it renix? ill have to use my intake and exhaust manifolds correct? what about the cts being up front now? since I'm already here, what else will i change? i will be searching the forums i think i like my chances with zj. i could part out the rest and make some money back. zj seats anyone? oh you need a 42re? need a replacement np249? what is that xfercase like? I'm goin to be doin mostly foul weather, back roads, and dunes, occasional tral (tuttle creek) nah, just rather keep my trusty command trac sorry, i got sidetracked with the other thread thanks for the replys, i think olive matte with the white army star would look cool CC style, but clear coated to make it pretty
