1988 MJ Comanche SWAP BA-10 to AX-15
87MJTIM replied to Jomanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The OP with need the transmission cross member and mounting bracket for the AX15. Additionally he needs the bell housing and shift fork from the inside bell housing. The two transmissions are the same length. No need to change the driveshafts. Other parts will be needed that a shop will provide. I did the lots of research before I did my swap. It took me a weekend just by myself. -
1988 MJ Comanche SWAP BA-10 to AX-15
87MJTIM replied to Jomanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Check local junk yards. I picked up one for about $135. The other parts to convert to external slave may run another $250. For $500 and your time you can do the swap -
Don’t know yet. I got them for future use

ZM Jeeps from Toledo OH sells MJ rockers. He doesn’t list them on his site. I picked up R & L at a York PA Jeep show. stores.zmjeeps.com

Clutch/Slave Cylinder Problems
87MJTIM replied to utahmj's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The seals on the master may be going bad. When you press the pedal, fluid is leaking paste the seal and you lose pressure. Purchase a new MC. Or... Look inside the cab where the MC come through the firewall. Is it damp? If so, feel the top of the fuse block. Is it damp? If so, the MC is leaking inside the cab. Not good new. Or... The slave cyl you purchased is bad. Not unheard of. The would mean changing it out...again. I got tired of changing slave cylinders (internal) so I swapped out trans to an external slave AX15 (94+). You can purchase for a 2wd AX15 for probably not much $$, Jeep owners are willing to part with a 2wd AX15 (94+) when they convert to 4wd.- 35 replies

This was long ago. Out with the old, on with the new. I sold the end caps, tops and the license plate light caps to someone on CC. ( I kept the mounting brackets.)

What Minuit knows about stock Jeep radios
87MJTIM replied to Minuit's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
Jeremy I understand you’re busy. I don’t need a reply right away. I picked up these two radios. What could you do with them? aux/usb adaptable -
I am guessing the NV3350 has external slave cylinders. You should get a clutch kit to match the trans.

Misfire at idle - Renix 2.5 TBI
87MJTIM replied to WeezyBlue's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
You should get a Renix Engine Monitor from Nickintime. Search YouTube or Facebook. He sells a Renix scanner (REM) that will give you engine information. This can help locate issues problems -
You want one from a 89-90 MJ or XJ with auto transmissions. I don’t recall the part number. I’ve pulled a few ECUs from auto XJs that I don’t need. Where do you live?

Where do you live? Going on vacation anytime soon?

There are some good youtube videos on the AX15. A series of videos are on RobinsonAuto channel. Lot of detail and the camera focuses on the work, but he makes it as interesting as paint drying. 1. 2. 3.

My dash is cracked. I have a 93 XJ dash, but it is the lighter tan. I don't know where to find a color match to paint it. (Not a high priority in my life.)

Butterscotch? What year? In 87, there were two different shades of "tan/beige." One slightly darker (more orange-ish) than the other. My Laredo has the darker shade. Is that the butterscotch you are referring to?

I’m going to pass on it. For my driving habits, a 242 will not be a benefit. I don’t 4wheel other than some dirt roads to land in WV. Also, I don’t drive on snowy roads. Too much work to convert the input shaft to 23 splines

I picked up one from auto zone

That was also an issue I wasn't sure about. I have an AX15 - 23 spline. I would have to switch back to the BA10. I DON'T THINK SO!

Converted to open system today. Before During Out with the old In with the new Plumb up Need a cap - the new rad didn't come with one.

No lift on mine, other than General Springs and 1.75" pucks up front. I have non-CAD D30 up front and a factory D44 in the rear. Running 235/75/15. I did some internet reading last night on the differences/benefits/drawbacks of switching to a 242. Most of the comments suggest that the 242 is best if you live where there is a lot of snow. Here in the mid-Atlantic, we get some snow that comes, then melts away before the next snow fall. It doesn't stick around for long (usually). Maryland likes to salt the roads. So when it does snow, I don't drive the MJ. I want to limit the exposure to rust causing salt. So, the 242 would not be a major benefit for me in the snow. Other comments said the 242 was a good off road tcase, but it was always with an automatic. Mine is a manual. Most comments said that the 231 is marginally better (not my words! don't start a debate). Also, the availability of service/parts is better for the 231 (again, not my words.) So, I think I will pass on getting the 242. I just hate to see good parts for our Jeeps get trashed like this. When ever I see a Renix era XJ there, I pull parts that are specific to that model: ECU, TB, cruise control parts, etc. The XJ has a good condition full gauge cluster and a black dash bezel. (I grabbed the clock and radio. Hello, Minuit?)

I was at my local PNP today and came upon an 88 XJ Limited. It has a really decent grey interior with leather electric seats! The driver's seat has some tares in it. It also has as an NP242! The question is: Do I want (need) it? Is a 242 longer than a 231? Would the drives shafts need changing to account for the difference?
