Siopposition Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Even if you find an internal slave trans you can always hunt for the external slave bell housing...came on 94+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY-J24 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I am in the same boat jack. I have an 88 pugeot tranny 4x4 My internal slave is leaking and needs replacement. I would like to swap an ax15or the nv3550. I know there are other threads here with more info but I believe we need to get a different cross member that has a bigger dip to accommodate the ax15 or whichever we pick. Also the spline count on the transfer case is different so you may need together the transfer case that goes with the tranny. I am looking for a shop that can do the swap for me but I can't find a place that knows what is involved enough to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya there is definently some changes that need to happen to put it in, I think I'm doing it myself though, it doesn't seem all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY-J24 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is this close to you? Might be able to get the cross member transfer case and maybe a tranny from it. Along with any extra bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 There's a guy with a ax15 for sale 15 mins form my house for 100$. It's 4x4 and a 5 speed and come with everything. It came it if a 88 cherokee. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 As it's only 15 min away it's worth checking out but the '88 was factory equipped with the BA 10/5, not the AX15. It's a long shot. Considering you'll need the trans, transfer case, cross member, linkage, etc it may be worthwhile to find a complete parts truck. https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/Search.aspx?Keyword=jeep+cherokee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY-J24 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Its possible an 89 was sold as an 88. I believe 88/89 was the transition year to the ax15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit41 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is the guy that has the transmission that I'm talkin about. Should I just get this whole thing? And the extra tranny didn't come out of this one it came out of an 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Would an 98 Cherokee work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 A '98 Cherokee would be an excellent choice. It will be an external slave AX15. If you want to see all the necessary parts check out my build threads for both Maura and Georgia: http://comancheclub.com/topic/37173-georgia-92-40-ho-ax-15-2wd/?hl=georgia http://comancheclub.com/topic/27930-my-1990-and-some-pics-of-the-old-87/?hl=maura Off the top of my head you'll need the trans with shifter & T-case. AX15 cross member, T-case linkage, and external slave/master with plastic hydraulic line. I'm not sure if your current driveshafts will work. If the XJ driveshafts are available cheap I'd grab them both (rear for the slip yoke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also could I get that linkage new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm headed down that way anyway and I also want the seats form it. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/5093383173.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 That's a great donor. The seats won't work in the MJ (changed the mounting points in '93 or '94) but all the external slave AX15 parts you need are there. It looks like it's been sitting for a little while. If you don't want the entire XJ maybe make him an offer on everything you do want out of it. If the body is worth $300 as scrap and if he got, say, $400 for everything you want off the truck, he won't loose money on it. At the end of the XJ run they switched from the AX15 to the NV3550 (MY2000-01 I believe). Not sure if the cross-member is the same but I've heard that's a good trans also. All the AX15 trucks used the same cross-member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want to part it out and my dad won't let me get another jeep so I guess I'll have to keep looking for stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
