Hello all. Like a lot of folks on here, I've been contemplating a 4wd swap in my 'Manche. Initially, I wanted to perform a straightforward AX4-AX5 swap. My plan was to rebuild the AX5, keep the 4 banger, not go above 31's, and drive like a granmpa (I usually do, anyway). This should give me at least a few years of use. Unfortunately, the AX5's are extremely rara around here. Apparently, nobody in West Texas ever liked the 2.5 Jeeps. I did get my paws on a Dakota bellhousing for the AX15 conversion, and am currently hunting down a 5 speed out of an XJ. I HAVE found a few YJ and TJ AX's, so that may be an option, after some mods. My question is, what do I need, aside from the tranny, clutch, and bellhousing, to perform the swap? Also, if I'm using a bellhousing from a 2.5 Dakota and an AX15, why do I need a clutch out of an 84 Camaro with a 4 banger? Couldnt I just use a Dakota clutch?
