Pete M Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 They blow up. Mine blew a hole out the side of the trans while I was just tooling along with traffic on the freeway. :dunno: They are barely adequate for a stock 4.0L with street tires. The renix and a 96 HO do not share a common crankshaft hole for the bearing. Both the inner and outer diameters of the pilot bearings changed.

Pete M Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 From this page: http://www.jeeptech.com/convtrans/ax15swap.html The 87 had an outside diameter close to 1" with ~ 0.625" inside diameter. The 96 had ~ 1.75" outside diameter with ~ 0.8125" inside diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8plainsDriftr Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 thanks pete, you may have saved me a huge headache(s) hmm so i need the pilot bearing from a 73 cj5 W/ 304 3 speed, and i need to do this ax15 swap... maybe someone is interested in trading some parts :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The CJ bushing will only work with swapping a late model AX-15 onto a renix era 4.0. If you're using an HO 4.0, you just need the AX-15 and the appropriate factory bearing. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8plainsDriftr Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 since i have a np231, will it still mate to the ax-15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Only if the input/output spline count matches up between the trans and t-case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8plainsDriftr Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 my renix fuel pump should work with the HO engine, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 my renix fuel pump should work with the HO engine, correct? I believe that they are different... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Pump? Yes, it'll still pump fuel. Fuel level sender? The gauge will read backwards because they switch the polarity in 91. And someone correct me if I'm remembering this wrong, but I think if you swap the positive and neg wires, it still won't be perfectly accurate.
