th3m4nm4rcu5 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 1993-1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee body parts and 5speed swapI have a 1993-1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I will be parting out less the engine. The jeep does have an external slave ax-15 in it that will also be available if someone wants to buy the whole set up trans transfer case drive shafts and pedal assembly I would like $850 pulled out ready for pickup. Or just the ax-15 for $700. Body parts $75 per fender $125 per door pulled have two good sets of doors and fenders one green one purple. Call or text for any other parts you might need. so apparently this grand cherokee has a ax-15 in it, with the 5 speed manual and transfer case, will this work for my renix 89 comanche 2wd, 5 speed, for a 4x4 swap? :bowdown: :dunno: :???: . :MJ 1: .

gogmorgo Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 This is interesting. Usually I wouldn't care about sacrificing another vehicle to keep a rare-ish one like an MJ going. But for something as uncommon as a 5-speed ZJ, I'd need to think long and hard. Even it it's already started being parted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 1993 is the only year where a standard was available from the factory in a ZJ. And I don't think external slave was till 1995. So I'm guessing this is a custom install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepman Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 As stated yes this setup can be used as a 4x4 swap... And I am sure 94 was the first for External Slave and the title says this was a 5 speed swap in the ZJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 All of my AX-15 swap parts came out of a 1993 ZJ that I found at the pick a part. Sad thing was, it was in really good shape. From what I could tell it was in the yard due to a blown head gasket (lots of coolant in the oil). The body was very rust free and the interior would have been perfect with lots of cleaning.

th3m4nm4rcu5 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Great guys, one last question? What all do I need off this thing? He's only going to let me part of out, can't get the whole rig. And it's a np242 transfer case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 89 would have BA trans correct? You will still need to source a XJ AX15 cross member if I'm not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 89 would have BA trans correct? You will still need to source a XJ AX15 cross member if I'm not mistaken This^ You can also search car-part.com for an MJ AX-15 crossmember. I did this and got mine for $60 shipped to my house. Also, if you have a BA10 trans, you will need the backing/inspection plate thatsits between the engine and bellhousing. Then obviously the trans and transfer case with all of the shift linkage for the T-case. The 4wd shifter as well. Not sure if the ZJ front driveshaft is the same as an XJ/MJ, but you will want that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 700 is a lot for a trans. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 700 is a lot for a trans. :( That's the whole conversion price. Not terrible IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I might have used the BA one. I think the ZJ is an inch or so longer. I did a HnT on my XJ. That did come up in discussion, but should be checked.

87MJTIM Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 No one has mentioned the front axle. Is that part of the package? If not, I think $850 is steep for just a trans and tcase. If you get the whole ZJ, sans engine, then maybe. You can part out whats left to recoup your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it said the whole swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
