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?

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

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.
