JeepcoMJ Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 What has failed on yours? or are you doing a 4x4 swap? Either way, I have good output shaft cluster gear and gear assemblies with a good 4x4 output housing and everything needed to build a 4x4 trans out of a 2wd or rebuild one.

mvusse Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 A lot of people put gear oil in, but current gear oils have a lot of sulphur that eat away at the brass syncros. It seems 10W30 is the current preferred oil. I run 10W3 Mobil 1 synthetic in mine, and the two remaining syncros are holding up well. Still need to find time to pull it and combine it with the AX4 one to make one good one. Got an AX4 with a shot 4th gear synchro an an AX5 that has no suncros left for 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Yes, all the damage was done before I got them. Wouldn't mind finding a Dakota bellhousing for an AX15 (along with an AX15) and installing some higher ratio gears to make up for the deeper OD. The one I had behind my 4.0 withstood all he abuse I could throw at it, it should be bomb proof behind a 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd44889 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 i might have a line on a ax15 that was behind a 4.0 would that be geared to high for my 2.5 if not what would i have to do to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 In an AX15 1st is geared a little higher, but not much, 2nd is identical, 3rd is so close it might as well be and 4th is identical. 5th is the problem. AX5 - 0.85:1 AX15 - 0.79:1 With 4.10 gears it should be usable, but I'm running 3.55. The bigger problem is to find a 2.5 Dakota stick shift (which will be an AX15) in a junk yard, as that's the only bellhousing to mate an AX15 to a 2.5.
