Cabz Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I was told that the ax15 and tcase from a YJ /TJ have the Tcase "clocked" diffrently than the XJ/MJ's is this true? . If so what is diffrent the trans or tcase? this all came about when a freind of mine put a YJ 231and ax5 in his MJ, he said that the setup from the YJ was clocked diffrently so he couldn't use his crossmember without droping it or modifying it severly.

Pete M Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I believe it's the trans, but I have both so it's hard to say. Personally, I love the extra ground clearance of my TJ AX-15/NP-231. :D Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabz Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Extra ground clearance is a plus :D did that setup give you any fits hooking up the tcase shifter lever?. I thought the YJ would be clocked farther down ( ft driveshaft end ) ? since it has more room to play with than an XJ/MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Nope, it's higher up. Not sure what you'd do with the linkage. My 88 was 2wd originally and I combined the TJ parts I had with the MJ parts I "borrowed" from my 86. Not a clue which pieces I actually used in the end. I had to build a bracket for the trans side of the linkage due to the differences between the TJ AX-15 and the 86 AX-5. Not a big deal, just a flat plate with 3 holes in it. I made a custom crossmember too that raises the t-case up a bit more and makes for a close fit to the body. :D Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabz Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Cool :D Now I know what I have to look forward too. First the lift then the trans, I kinda like to plan ahead. The MJ is my DD I can't have the ole girl off the road long . Thanks for the info Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 AFIK, the difference in clocking is with the tranny, as Pete said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
