apexjeepinjoe Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 What am I missing now? Why won't my cross member line up at all? Do I need a different transmission mount? I have the AX Cross member and for the life of me I can not get anything to line up. I would think at least one bolt would line up? Also I am using a 1998 TJ AX15.
apexjeepinjoe Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Anyone have any good pictures of the AX15 in the Comanche including the mount?
Pete M Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 got pics of what you're working with? did you move the trans crossmember to the AX-15 spot?
MJRemi Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 You didn't specify which AX crossmember you are installing. It needs to the AX15 trans mount and crossmember. I've heard the mounting holes sometimes have to be elongated a bit to make it work.
apexjeepinjoe Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 got pics of what you're working with? did you move the trans crossmember to the AX-15 spot? I have not taken any pictures. I did move the crossmember. I have a feeling I bought a cheap transmission mount and that is the problem.
HOrnbrod Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I have a feeling I bought a cheap transmission mount and that is the problem. It's not the mount unless you bought the wrong one. The transmission mount (#24) is the same for the AX15 and AW4 auto. But you need other AX15-specific parts to mount it to the cross member, like the manual tranny bracket (#25). They also use different cross member holes to mount.
apexjeepinjoe Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Yes I bought number 25 and it was not cheap. Any other ideas?
RDAN1 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Yes I bought number 25 and it was not cheap. Any other ideas? Since I'm planning to be doing this work soon, I'm curious if you were able to get the alignment issue figured out ? If so, how/what did you end up doing?
apexjeepinjoe Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Yes I figured it out. I had a cheap mount that did not have the mounting holes at the top drilled in the correct spots. After adjusting the holes with a die grinder I have now got everything mounted and running and driving.
apexjeepinjoe Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Also if you are like me and did the whole conversion with no donor vehicle make sure to buy real Jeep parts it saved headaches in a lot of areas.
