HunterB Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Do 2.5l wrangler transmissions fit in my 1990 Comanche? There is a 2002 wrangler transmission for 150 on craigslist in my area, and I was wondering if that would fit my 2.5l Comanche? What years would fit if any?
Green Mesa XJ Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Even if it would fit it would be clocked wrong for the transfer case. Used to be wranglers used the same AX5 transmission except for the tail case clocking. Not sure about automatics or what they switched to after ax5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
FrankTheDog Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Eagle has one in one of his rigs. It's doable.
Eagle Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Eagle has one in one of his rigs. It's doable. Not a 2.5L. My '88 4.0L MJ had a YJ tranny and transfer case in it when I bought it. Whoever did the swap was a butcher, because he just chopped out a huge section of the floor pan/transmission tunnel to get the Wrangler t-case shifter (which in the YJ was totally different from the XJ and MJ) to "fit." It runs okay -- I wheeled it like that for several years, but doing something to replace the t-case shifter and repair the floor is on my list of future projects. Remember the 2.5L uses a smaller bell housing, flywheel, and clutch (or flex plate and torque converter). Anything considered for a swap has to come from a 2.5L Wrangler, unless you want to go looking for adapters.
Jeep Driver Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 If it's a 2.5 in the Wrangler, it will fit fine. Here is a Wrangler trans in my '88, simply reclock as shown.
87MJTIM Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 There are youtube videos for practically everything! Check FixJeep on YT or www.fixjeep.com. He has a video on re-clocking a NP231 to an AX15 from an XJ to his TJ. If you do the steps in reverse you can clock a YJ trans to an MJ.

Green Mesa XJ Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Is the transmission from a 2002 wrangler compatible with the transfer case and bellhousing of a 90 MJ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
