zak Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have a 92 MJ L6 4.0 5speed with the internal slave cylinder, I’ve been told and read up on this and other forums as much I could about this swap and think I have a good understanding of the process. My question is, I have a friend looking to get rid of his 96 Dodge Dakota, from what I know it has the same AX15 transmission with the external slave, however it has a 4L engine, does anyone have any information if this will still be a bolt on fit for the bellhousing? Also, when replacing the clutch would I purchase one for a 92 or does it need to be a 96 for the updated parts? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 AFAIK, none of the Dakota AX-15s used a bell housing compatible with a 4.0. I think what you've been reading up on is referring to putting an AX-15 behind a 2.5 in place of an AX-4/5, which needs a 4 cylinder AX-15 Dakota bell.

zak Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Sounds like the deal is off! Thanks for the info, glad I asked before this turned into a waste of money. I’ll just have to wait till I get lucky in the junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 As far as the clutch goes I've been using the clutch that was in my 92 when I swapped to the external slave AX15 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
