I think I know the answer, but

 

...

 

would a 4cy 5 speed work behind a 6 cyl? This is the only description I have of the rig that I'm considering taking the drivetrain out of.

 

1995 Jeep Cherokee

4-Door, Hatchback

4WD, 5-SPD manual transmission

4-CYL, 2.5 liter

 

my rig is a

 

1987 Renix 4.0L 6 cyl, I currently have a BA10.

 

Thanks,

Even if you could (you can't), the AX-5 isn't capable of handling the 4.0's power.

 

The axles from that rig should have 4.10s in them though. Depending on price, that alone could be worth the money. Then sell off the trans/t-case to someone with a 2.5 looking to convert. :thumbsup:

yea I figured it would be an AX5, but I was hoping that they might have switched it to an AX15 some time in the early 90s. I do need the front 4.10 axle, as I have that as my rear currently and I thought I could get away with one cheap donor.

An AX-15 won't bolt to a 2.5L. (not without the complicated use of a Dakota bellhousing at least)

Interestingly, if you had an AW4 auto trans, it can be used behind either the 4 or 6cyl engine, with a change of bellhousing.
