64 Cheyenne Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 AX-15 swap is doable , make sure you get everything associated with the tranny/TC from the donor vehicle. You didn't say what tranny you currently have, if you have an auto, then you'll have to get a flywheel pressure plate from a Renix engine. You'll also want the tranny mount and crossmember, the TC linkages, clutch assy and associated parts for that. Check spline count on the output of the tranny, match to the input of your TC. A 23 spline input can be easily added to a 231 if needed, just seen you have a 242 TC, if your input splines match your trannys output spline count then your good to go. You'll need a new pilot bushing as seen in this post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14321 . Possible DS fab if your going from an auto a manual trans.
asm4mcc Posted January 31, 2010 Author Posted January 31, 2010 i got an auto tranny and i got the ax 15 and tc out of any 96 the clutch i looked at was from advanced auto Clutch Set; Contains Clutch Disc, Cover Assembly, Release Bearing, Pilot Bearing/Bushing & Alignment Tool; Cover Type: Raised Diaph.; 10.4x10Tx1 1/ so all i need is the pedals, master cyclender and a fly wheel from a 5 speed(but do i get the fly wheel from a renix or ho motor
64 Cheyenne Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Renix motor, the HO flywheel sends different signal pulse to the HO ECU.
