87 comanche Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Does the 2000 wrangler still have the ax15? Would it swap to my manche :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm assuming this is a 4.0L wrangler... Bad news: Last year for the AX-15 was 99. :( Good news: that Jeep should have the NV3550, which is even stronger :D Even better News: Yes, it'll go into your Jeep with pretty much the same amount of work as the wrangler AX-15 :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I absolutely love the NV3550 in my Rubicon. A whole lot smoother than the AX15 that was in my YJ. Beware of the 2000 NV3550. We had a 2000 TJ and that transmission liked to pop out of first gear regularly. Not a whole lot of fun when crossing 4 lanes of fast moving traffic. IIRC there was a TSB or the like about it. I have never had that issue with the NV3550 in my Rubicon :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had that issue with the NV3550 in my Rubicon :D I have a 2000 XJ with the NV3550 and I have no problems with it popping out of gear. But mine was made right at the end of 2000 model year production. The problem may have been early in the model year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My sister had a 2000 TJ and never had an issue with that. :thumbsup: I'd thought XJs got a slightly different version than the TJs? Something about courser cut gears in the TJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
