Puritan21 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 My truck is an 89 and I just finished swapping a 2wd pukegoat tranny with a 4wd AX-15. Easy swap, no need to change clutch. The AX-15 I put in was out of a 90 cherokee so pilot bearing was the same diameter. I went ahead and put a new slave cylinder in, but the old will work fine. If your donor tranny is 91 and up you'll have to change pilot bearings, I'm assuming that yours is external slave since you refer to the throwout bearing and slave. As far as transfer case, check spline count to see if they match. Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck!! my slave cyl is internal and the ax-15 trans is from a 1995 wrangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche09 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 IIRC The '89 NP231 has a 21 spline input shaft. The 95 AX-15 has a 23 spline output shaft... the kid is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puritan21 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The 95 AX-15 should be external (I think) which is a lot better. Get the throwout bearing and slave....your gonna love the AX-15 compared to the pukegoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildman Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I should have a BA/10 4wd loose. I also have 2 each 242's that are 23 spline if you want to go that route :dunno: I can get it half way to you to Ellicotville (Great Valley) it that helps at all. But, not until the weekend.

Oizarod115 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The transfer case is going to be tilted higher toward the body on the wrangler transmissiskn, and may require a hammer or drop kit to get the case to clear the body... This is a difference in the actual transmission, can't do anything about it. Hopefuly it works easy cause the ax15 I have to use is also from a YJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I can't find the article to back up my words so just another stick into the fire of uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It's no myth. but it's also not excessive. I have a 1999 Wrangler combo in my 88. Wrangler on top, MJ on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I didn't see it listed so I'll just make sure you know you'll need the bellhousing. the Peugeot bellhousing will not work. Oh, and you'll need the AX-15 crossmember and trans mount from an MJ/XJ too. It's a pretty straightforward swap. The 242 is a great t-case that allows fulltime 4wd, but you'll need the shift gate for inside the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Definitely not a myth, cause I've seen them side by side bt hadn't seen it in a truck thanks Pete! My ax is goin in tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
