ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 So I have a 87 jeep Comanche 2.5 longbed and the tranny has a tick in it. It tickets in all gears except 4th and its a 5speed and it ticks in neutral except for when the clutch is it. What do tall think the problem could be? Also I have a 4speed tranny in my 87 2.5 short wheel base and it's like an inch shorter. Would the transmission work if I swapped it to my longbed?

Pete M Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 inch shorter? :hmm: those "should" both be the same case (AX-4 and AX-5 are the same except for the added 5th gear) can you snap pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Ax4 (4speed) & ax5 (5speed) are the same except for fifth gear, as long as both transmissions are the same, 4 wheel drive or two wheel drive, they should swap no problem. Just use the transfer case and driveshaft in your long bed. (If both have the same transfer case as well only the drive shaft really matters ) The transmissions are the same far as case size and dimensions. Far as ticking it could be the clutch, but I've also seen transmissions make ticking sound like you describe and be broken.

ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'll take some pictures when I get some time. But I just put a new clutch in 3 weeks ago Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 No it was not. The ticking only started like 2 or 3 days ago Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranmissions don't usually "tick" when they go bad, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There was a Subaru once that made a weird ticking noise, I thought was just the clutch, apparently the transmission was all kinds of broken from what I was told but that's a different kind of transmission too. I definitely would check the clutch and bearings before swapping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well today it started effecting performance. I couldn't even take off in first gear because it was catching and grinding. Second gear did the same and third gear was loud but not at bad and 4th was the only gear I could go in where it wasn't extremely loud. 5th is really loud ticking. I can't drive it right now with the way it's acting so I'm gonna go ahead with the swap and check everything out while I do it Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Is that "parked" on its side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's a 2 wheel drive transmission if your other MJ is as well then it will work. Curious parking ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Well that mj is already totaled from my wreck and yes we took the tractor and put it on its side so it'd be easier because when I wrecked it rolled anyway. And yes both are 2×4 I already know about that part of it Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 These are both of the trannys side by side. With the 5 speed on the left with the slave cylinder Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 and you say one is longer than the other? can you tell where the extra length is? maybe a longer tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheCrusher9800 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 They were both the same length Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
