87MJTIM

Do you still have a cat? Sounds like it could be partially blocked.

So with all those issues, it does sound like inside the BH. Possibly slave cyl related. Plan on dropping the trans and inspect it. While you are in there.... replace the clutch kit and the slave cylinder.

In the Pub section, there is thread on "Cheap Jeep" about an 88 MJ. The father/son duo bought an 88 with a BA10. The spent over $2K fixing the BA. I'd hate to see anyone go down that rabbit hole when a used AX15 can be purchased for a fraction of that cost. If the repair is simple - like aligning the shifter - go for it. If the issue is more extensive - internal - don't waste money on it. My 2¢.

Go grab a 4wd and the tcase, front drive shaft, tcase shifter, and the cross member (your BA 10 won't fit). You're more than half way to a 4wd conversion.

Was the AX15 installed on Toyotas? I thought I read that somewhere. However, if it did come on a Toylet, the bellhousing would not fit a 4.0. The BA10 BH won't fit to an AX15, either. So, that leads back to an XJ or YJ. Two years ago, there were two XJs in a local LKQ with AX15s. One was a 4wd with an internal slave cyl. bellhousing; the other was a 2wd with an external slave cyl. BH. I left there with a 4wd and a BH for external slave cyl. Long day.

Didn't see that. Yeah, that's an issue. It's just that a BA 10 is not worth fixing (if that is the problem).

Just my opinion, but start searching junkyards close by to find an XJ with a manual trans. You would want 90+ for model years. (89 is split: 1/2 BA, 1/2 AX)

yep, that's a BA 10. Word of advise: Open the fill plug BEFORE you open the drain plug. (Think about it.)

To test the internals, I would drain the transmission fluid and look for metal parts 😱. Then you may know which direction to go.

D35 will have small shoes - 1.5" (?) D44 will have larger shoes - 2"

I don't believe the XJ bolts in to the MJ. There were threads on CC that discussed this. Something about where the XJ bolts to the B pillar. They bolt down low to account for a 2 dr style XJ. The MJ bolts higher up the B pillar.

I contacted Nick a few weeks ago by email. He replied quickly. We exchanged several email that night. Very good customer service.

Maybe you should listen to “I’m Only Sleeping “

If I recall, I used a round file to slowly open up the hole.

I once said to a boss: People are living longer. He said “No. More people are living to an older age. “ In the late 1700’s, when life expectancy was probably 50, Ben Franklin died at 93. Very rare for the time. Today, many more people live into their 90’s. More people are surviving childhood diseases, lack of wars, and increased safety standards to live to an older age

Wren's livers (I don't want to sell this Roman rubbish.) Grail, Brian or Meaning of Life? (I know, that five...three, sir)

"it's just a wafer thin, little mint." African or European swallows?

1. Flat fender 2. CJ8 3. Willys pickup or wagon 4. early CJ5 (including 6s) 5. (not sure about #5)

The list is too long. Is there an online photo of it? Cruise control system? throttle body, sensors, instrument cluster, etc...

It depends.... Is your axle original to your truck? If so, then no. The front brakes/hubs changed on later model MJs/XJs.

I used a hole next to the clutch MC. Then back under the dash. Mine is sitting in the ash tray.

How does one fine this? What does it cost? How does one order?
