Should I take this ax15?

[Jackrabbit41]

If i got this ax15 would it be worth it? I know I'd have to get a whole bunch of stuff to convert it to external slave and to fix that reverse gear but this guys selling it to me for 60$

Plus it wouldn't be to much of a loss if its junk

Paying money for a broken transmission does not strike me as being a good plan.

  The input shaft is pretty rusty, seems to indicate the trans was sitting outside with a hole in the top (no shift lever).  As you mentioned it's also missing the bellhousing & front bearing retainer. I'd pass on it.

 

  Have you tried one of the "big box" junkyards?  LKQ has a deal with Advance and they'll ship used parts to the local Advance parts store. Pricing was ok but not great the last time I used them.

 

  I found an external slave 4WD AX15 at the pull-a-part last spring but I had been keeping an eye out for quite some time.  If there's a U-pull-it junkyard nearby it would be worth the time to look around.

Alright thanks guys

It would be cheaper to buy a whole junk cherokee with a good transmission then just buy the parts for the conversion.
