pugeot :dunno: but its a good little transmission it has never caused me any problems :dunno: hopefully when i buy a 4wd doner jeep it will be an ax15, but no complaints from me about the BA10/5

[Pete M]

Yup, that's a peugeot. be gentle with the shifts and keep it topped off with oil and it should last a while longer. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

But read up on the AX-15 swap so you'll be prepared. :D

[Squeegy410]

haha 10-4 boss :thumbsup: i take it an ax15 t-case isnt interchangable to a pugeot?

[Geonovast]

Peugeot has a 21 spline output, AX-15 has a 23.

 

You can mount your 231 from a pukey to an AX-15, but you have to swap in a 23 spline input shaft first.

gotchya :thumbsup: i was just wondering for the purpose of when i buy 4wd donor if i could use my pugeot if the ax broke down

[cz777]

i call them pogo sticks them pugoet cars are the worsted pile of crap in the world if/when they worked !!! anything with that word pugoet tried to it ..RUN LIKE the demons are coming to get you !!!

Actually, the BA 10/5 is fine IF serviced by someone that actually knows Peugeots. I'm looking at a turbo diesel from a Peugeot wagon with BA 10/5 in my Comanche (if the owner ever brings it down from Alaska. Ferry ride is expensive)

 

Buddy of mine is a Peugeot expert and he said the 4x4 version wasn't set up with the clearances correct and they ran the wrong oil in it too. His has 300,000 miles+ on it no probs, so he's doing something right!

So.  I think this is an AX-15.  Am I right?

[Geonovast]

Sorry, no.  That's most definitely a BA 10/5.

[ajohnson928]

Dammit.  Well everyone, there's a view that's easy to get of a BA...

10 years later and now i'm reading this, nice. Thinking of buying a 1987 commache, with a 94 HO motor swapped into it. It has a BA10 on it but it also comes with a AX15 and everything for the swap. He's asking 3,000 but I could prob get him down. Should I go for it?

the condition of the body matters most.  the big steel and aluminum bits underneath are far more easily replaceable.

I wouldn't avoid a truck because of the transmission. I've done burnouts and clutchless shifts on 31s with my Peugeot for 4,000 miles and I am yet to have an issue. That said, my AX-15 is going in soon.

So I thought I had the AX-15, but it now appears that I have the Peugeot BA10/5😡.  Where are the fill and drain plugs on this thing?

Am I right in assuming that BA10/5s could be in a 1987 MJ 4.0L manual 5 speed?

I can’t remember where the fill and drain plugs are, you might want to post that question in tech. An 87-early 89 4.0 5 speed MJ would have the Peugeot. 

[Pete M]

the plugs require an 8mm square tool.  if you're careful, you can grind down an old 3/8" socket extension to make one.  do not open the drain until you know for sure that you can open the fill.

I’ve got the ol’ pukegoat, 214k on the clock and that thing seems to be going strong. Definitely going AX-15 when it craps out.
