jeepaholic Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 i swapped the ba10 for an ax15..obviously the urethane trans/xmember mount doesnt fit..I am guessing the ax15 is out of say a 94yj..4bolts on the underside of trans..all of the ones i can find lookin online are 2bolts on top and bottom..Is this the right one?..

BLHTAZ Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My '95 has 2 bolts. I don't think I have seen a 4 bolt on an AX15 :hmm: I would advise not using a urethane mount though. They are very hard and you will feel a lot of vibes from it from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeff87 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 there's a plate (that you're missing) that bolts into those four holes on the tranny, and the mount bolts to the plate with 2 bolts. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeff87 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 you should be able to make one out of plate steel. I would just mock it all up with the crossmember and mount bolted to it, see where the mount bolts hit the plate and drill it out. As best as I can describe it, the stock plate has about the same shape as the little plastic cover on top of the relay center/ignition module under the hood, but you don't really need style points :D The other thing that the stock plate does is provide a mount for the exhaust hanger @ the cat converter flange. You'll have to figure out some way to support the exhaust there, to keep it off the crossmember. Jeff edit: I don't have a real pic (I can take one of mine after work tonight if you want), but here's the diagram from the parts manual. You're missing part #'s 19, 21, 22, and 29 (overall, part #20 shown in the box on the right) Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepaholic Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 the big part inside box 20 looks like the one that come off the ba..it don't work..but if you could get me a pic tonight that would be fantastic..it will help me a lot when i go to fab one up..If I can see it..I can make it.. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If you've got a BA mount that's in decent shape, make sure you pass that on to a Jeeper in need. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakal Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Image Not Found i have a side view, but you can see there is one bolt hole per side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 mjeff87 - is that the stock crossmember that you used to put the plate on? -Cody Yep, stock AX15 crossmember. Dimensionally it's the same as the AX4/5, AW4, BA10/5 one, but the center is notched where the mount bolts in by 1". Found that out the hard way when I swapped the AX15 in when I did the motor transplant and tried to reuse my AX5 one :oops: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Are you saying I have to use the crossmember from the xj that my tranny came from? or can I make the ax-5 crossmember work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
