Blue88Comanche Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 My tranny is not wanting to shift into first gear.. To get into first I need to put it into 2nd then let off the clutch a little, then put it into first (maybe)... Any help? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue88Comanche Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Basics first, MC full, tranny full. BTW what tranny? MC is full not sure how to check tranny fluid, as for the tranny type, I have a 4.0 engine, ax-15 I guess.. I have a picture of it posted somewhere I will upload it when I find it... Maybe that will help... The big bolt that a socket wrench connects to is the fill/fill to level correct? I have some Lucas tranny leak stop I was going to add. My dad was saying there is a filter that needs to be changed now and then and the last time it was changed could have been 10 years ago.... What would be involved in changing that? And what type of oil do I use? I think I read somewhere on here to use 75/w90 oil. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manual tranny - no filter BA-10 - 80/90 whatever "gear oil" AX-15 - 30wt synthetic Would be helpful to know the exact tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the easiest way to find what tranny I have? I thought I had a better picture online already but I don't... When I can I will get a better picture.. I saw a post that showed nice clean ax15 and ba10 trannys to id with but mine is in no ways clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If you still have that picture of the two sitting next to each other a little note, that would help a lot in my little explanation as I can't remember which thread that was with the picture. The easiest way to tell is to look at where the starter bolts to the bell housing. The BA10/5 is offset farther up than the AX15, because of this difference, the AX15 has a diagonal piece cast on it at about the 6 o'clock position of the starter location as the BA10/5's casting follows the circle till it meets the bell housing. It's a lot easier to explain in pics but I currently don't have any on this computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Because your truck is an 88. The AX15 didn't appear in the MJ until the middle of 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue88Comanche Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 :idea: Well then that was easy!! LOL So can I nab a AX-15 from another jeep and bolt on or how would i go about a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Because your truck is an 88. The AX15 didn't appear in the MJ until the middle of 89. That's not what I based it on. An AX-15 could have been swapped in by a PO. I based it on the transmission in the picture being a BA 10/5, which is most noticeable by the subtle ribbing, bolts along the bottom, and lack of a midplate. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
