JCole Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am having a question about my manches vin number. I bought it and when I pulled the motor and trans, it has a ax15 in it for a trans. I was expecting a BA10/5. Glad it doesnt. Just want to know what it came with originally. It doesnt seem to breakdown according to the vin decoder. Any help would be great... :cheers: 1J7FJ26L2KL577809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The vin won't tell you what the original trans was. Just the motor. Be thankful you got the AX15. Sometimes if your lucky you can find the build sheet. This tells you everything that was installed when it left the factory. I've found them behind the door panels, behind and under the seat cushions and sometimes in the glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but it seems that the order of the vin charcters is way off from the decoders online.? Makes me wonder about my title. :( :( :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pioneer Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 If its a late 89, then the AX is standard equipment. Mid 89 is when they did the switch from the BA to the AX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 here's the options info for your truck. It does not specify which manual trans it has, but it is a late build model, so the AX15 would be original.

Kenbob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 FYI my 89 I just bought has almost the same vin is yours...I have a t instead of the first j and a 9 before the k instead of a 2....my build number is 454163...I think I have the pukegout tranny, but that would make sense as it is earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks so much man. Just funny how my vin is sort of mixed up according to my chiltons. It's not your VIN that's mixed up. It's Chiltons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnjim Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, there was major changes in VIN sequences from certain years to years on our MJ's, the FSM's have it down right, most other sources, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
