Thanks. Is there anything else I need? How do you tell the two apart? I live in Utah. I Hope that would be close.

I picked up an 87 comanche 2WD with an inline 6 motor. Its been sitting for several years. It doesn't have a transmission. I need to pick up a manual transmission for this truck. Is there a difference between years of transmissions? I found a used one from an 89 comanche. Will this one work?

I live in central Utah (Fillmore). How much for the transmission and shipping to Utah 84631?? If the Toyota Transmission would fit without any problems then I would like to go that route since I already have it.

I have a 1987 2WD Comanche with the 4.0 inline 6 5 speed manual. I need a new transmission. I was wondering if a toyota transmission out of a 94 2wd would convert. The motor went in the toyota but the transmission is still good. If the toyota doesn't work what are some options? Where can I get a good used transmission?

Everything I have read so far just pretty much said don't waste money trying to rebuild this transmission. I have even talked with a couple of transmission shops and they said the same thing. Although, it is something to think about. :hmm: What about hooking a trailer onto it? Is it strong enough to tow with. I live in a rural community and commute about 20 miles to work each way. it's all two lane roads about 60 mph. I also do a lot of different things and I will on a regular basis hook onto a small (7X10) utility trailer and haul things with. Living in the rural area we often go in the mountains or on the desert for some exploring. If the pegot transmission is stout enough to do these things then I will look at going this route. I am sure it will be cheapest route.

I really don't want to spend a whole lot. I thought that the AX15 and NV3550 would be a direct bolt up and not require much conversion or modifications? I am just starting out and looking into costs. I really would like to get a direct bolt up transmission. I really know nothing about jeeps and I'm trying to learn. so please elighten me. "On the engine, I would remove the spark plugs, squirt a couple oz's of oil, or tranny fluid into each cylinder.Spin it over for 5-10 seconds.See if the OPG shows anything. Replace the plugs and fire it up.Don;t rev it. Just a fast idle for a couple minutes. Check for fluid leaks and noises. Good luck. Two trains of thought here. One is change the oil and filter B4 starting it. Two is run it first until hot, Then change the oil. My feeling is run it first until hot, then change.

I will definitely pull the plugs and dump some oil do I need to let it set for a while before I try and turn it over?

My brother bought a Jeep Comanche back in 88. He put about 80K miles then the transmission blew. It's been parked ever since in my parents driveway (about 15 years). I've kept after him to sale it to me and let me fix it up. I think it's had some sentimental value to him (his first truck). Finally he has given in and said I could have it. :clapping: Its a 2WD with the inline 6 and the peugot 5 speed. From what I've read this transmission isn't worth anything. I want to make this just a daily driver for me. and I really don't want to dump a lot of money into this or have to make modifications. I just want a good economical truck to drive. As far as I can tell the body is still in great shape. The paint has started to fade but I think I can bring some of that back with a good cleaning and wax. He has kept the window shades up on it so the interior is still in good shape too. I know I need a new transmission...I was thinking the AX15 or the NV3550. These seem to be decent 5 speed transmissions that won't break the bank and be a direct fit. Is there another option?? I read about a 6 speed in an article but can't seem to find anymore about them. My other concern is the motor. It was strong with no problem when it was parked. Now it has been sitting for so long I'm afraid I'll collapse a ring or two when I start it up. Is there a way to work the motor back in? Any other items I need to be aware of would greatly be appreciated.
