jmaxj Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm in the process of swapping the mj over to a AX 15 I've got the CJ-5 pilot bushing but what Clutch alignment tool do I need? The parts store lists 3 for an 87 Comanche.
hillbilly51 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm pretty sure that it's a 1 1/8" diameter, 10 spline. The nose for the pilot bushing is 5/8" diameter. Hope this helps steve
xjrev10 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The one that comes with the new clutch kit...

Hope this helps steve I'll check that one out...thanks The one that comes with the new clutch kit...Now why would I want to buy a new clutch kit when the AX15 I got came with a new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel?
87MJTIM Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 You need an .75" tip. Do the various tools list the ID of the bearing/bushing?
jmaxj Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Yes they do. They all list a 5/8 tip 10 spline. Just have 4 different diameters.
87MJTIM Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Sorry, I did not specify. The tip needs to be .75" wide, not depth.
jmaxj Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Sorry, I did not specify. The tip needs to be .75" wide, not depth.I was assuming that's what you meant. But according to their computer it's only 5/8 so I dunno.What year is the ax1594

You didn't say you had a new clutch. I've never got a new clutch kit that didn't have a tool....
jmaxj Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Well this isn't a new clutch kit, it's just the new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel that was on the motor :)

BootsNTrucks Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 When I converted mine I just cut the input shaft off the old tranny and used that.....
jmaxj Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Well did ya get it figured out?Not yet, the first two I ordered were wrong. And the other two seem to be taking longer to come in.http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTO-CLUTCH-ALIGNMENT-ALIGN-DISC-PLATE-PILOT-TOOL-SET-8-BEARING-ADAPTORS-/171324746161?hash=item27e3c029b1&item=171324746161&pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtrThat's interesting.When I converted mine I just cut the input shaft off the old tranny and used that.....That's actually a good idea. Never thought of that.
JeepcoMJ Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Only works if the old trans uses the same size pilot bushing.
hillbilly51 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 If the shafts that you are receiving fit the clutch disc but have too large a pilot end diameter and are made of plastic, you can reduce the OD with a bench grinder. I've done it before. Slowly rotate the shaft against the side of the stone and grind it down until you have the right size. Try it in increments...a little at a time until it fits. steve
jmaxj Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Ok I finally solved the alignment tool problem. But now I'm having a pilot bushing problem. Anyone who's done this swap have the part number for the correct one. 3 of them I picked up for a CJ5 have a smaller diameter center hole. I'm about to just hone it out so I can get this jeep running
desertmike Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I think this is what I used. If you call them they will know. http://www.advanceadapters.com/products/716166--pilot-bushing-750-id-x-1818-od/
jmaxj Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 I didn't even think of AA. I'll be calling them. Thanks for the help guys
desertmike Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I have in my notes that I used this one but double check. http://www.advanceadapters.com/products/716164--pilot-bushing-750quot-id-x-1818quot-od/
jmaxj Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 I have in my notes that I used this one but double check. http://www.advanceadapters.com/products/716164--pilot-bushing-750quot-id-x-1818quot-od/ After a short conversation that was the correct one. Got it ordered and on its way. Thanks for the help.
desertmike Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Glad it worked out. Done this conversion 2 times now. Also used there slave cylinder and braided line which comes with several adapters for diff year master cyl.
