Jeepjeff859 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am tossing around the idea of looking for a stronger transmission to swap in Are there any that wil bolt up to a 86 2.5 and be able to keep the 231 transfercase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nothing other then an AX4/AX5 will be bolt in without adapting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The AX15 will with a Dakota 2.5 bell housing. There are a few on here that have done it but I'm not the one to get the details from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 AX15 like Dasbulliwagen said. If you're not afraid of modding and do a lot of offroading, a SM series tranny from a chevy can be made to work. http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/transmission-drivetrain/1411-mating-the-sm420-to-an-amc-four-cylinder-granny-gearing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
