Poley 77 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just wanted to see if anyone has done this swap before. I think it would be relatively similar to the yj ax15 swap. Transfer case ddrop and all for the clocking. What parts aare required? So far I know I need a new crossmember, master/slave cylinder, pilot bearing, and possibly a rigged up linkage for the transfer case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuckerTJ Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm checking to see if you get any answers to this too. I can possible get a good deal on a trans and tcase from a 2004 TJ. Would like any information too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I installed an AX15 from a XJ. He's a video on youtube where the guy install an XJ AX15 into a YJ. He shows how he clocks the tcase for the different drops. This would be the same process in the other direction. Part 1 Part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Wrangler clocking is not that bad to not fit our trucks... Most guys here would agree it's better clocked up than down going off-road so you don't break your transfer case... I did an ax15 on my 4cyl with a 93 yj ax15 converted to external slave... I just had to hammer the tunnel to fit the transfer case but it wasn't too bad of a job.... Pics... Picture angle is not the best but I have about 1/2" space before any contact....

DirtyComanche Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 You can cut that 'sticky out thinger' off the tcase too, IIRC. It's not there for any purpose that matters to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Where are you from? There are Three AX-15/231 XJ's in the wrecking yard just down the road from me. one a 94, a 97, and a 01. Which means they are all external slaves.Total cost from this yard with the trans and T-case will be roughly $200 out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
