I got a piece of scrap... or did i?


Recommended Posts

Last time i went to a near scrapyard just to see whats new for sale and found beaten up XJ being torn apart for scrap, in this particular place you can get anything for scrap metal price (well a little more than that but you get the idea)  i checked the xj to see something i could use and noticed it was a manual, weird, 99.9% of the XJ around here are auto and the only manuals i hace seen are LR2/AX5 so i though meh! but then a saw the badge in the back: 4.0 liter damn, could it be? nope no engine left to salvage, so i asked the owner about it he said engine and tranny were bad but the bellhousing must have been somewhere...and it was so i paid around 10 us dollars and took it home, you never know when you may need a spare...

 

until i took abetter look at it and found something wasn`t right... the tranny pattern was irregular, oh $#!&, a quick goggle check later and turns out it`s a BA10/5 bellhousing... well at least it was cheap.. obviusly i`m not putting a BA10/5 back in my MJ, neither in the ZJ... can it be used with an adapter to another tranny? apparently no one makes adapter for this piece of $#!&.. ideas?
