Jackrabbit41 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So once i get about 500$ I'm finally going to get the rest of the parts for my 8.8 swap and the alexia lift, but then i want to get some new tires and so if i went up to 33s or hopefully 35s, what will happen with my bad tranny? should i start looking for a ax15? its a bolt in swap other then widening the tunnel right? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 "widening the tunnel"? :hmm: never heard that one before. :???: items on the list (off the top of my head): t-case input (peugeot has a 21 spline output, AX-15 has a 23) pilot bearing (which one you get depends on the year of the new trans) crossmember (ax-15 one is different) stickshift is different trans mount is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 so by "bad tranny", you simply mean it's a peugeot? then it makes more sense. they certainly aren't a good transmission. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 They certainly aren't great by any stretch, but to say bad ... Meh! If it's working fine don't worry about it, start collecting parts to swap it eventually, but don't get all in a panic. They last according to how they are treated ... Drive it like a Ferrari, and it's great nna blow up sooner, my Ba 10/5 has 238,000kms and is still shifting smooth and without issue. I do have all the stuff to swap it out for an AX15 at some point, but no hurry here. I liken it to a D35, don't bother throwing any money at it, plan for future swap, but it's fine if not beaten.

I think my slave cylinder is going bad so that's why I'm thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Only widening of the trains tunnel would be using a wrangler trains and you'd have to smash a small spot for the t case to clear. Very simple cave man type $#!&. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 does the tranny need to come out of a 4x4 to work with my 4x4? or can i get a ax15 out of a 4x2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You need a trans from a 4wd. The 2wd trans won't allow for the tcase to bolt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
