Blue88Comanche Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 While I was at the junkyard today I saw another AX-15. It’s an external slave 4wd. Now the only issue, with it in neutral (or any gear) the rear output shaft won’t turn. So what is the value of a non functioning external slave 4wd AX-15 (may have 250k miles) including the bell housing and other external slave parts? As i am replacing my current non functioning AX-15 same question but internal slave. I have never rebuilt a transmission, but have heard the AX-15 is easier than most. Seeing as my current tranny is dead and not risking anything, what more specialized tools would be needed before taking on this as a project?

krustyballer16 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Around here, any complete xj/mj transmission in a "warrantied" working condition go for $200 with no core charge. How much is the one needing rebuilt compared to one that they say is good?Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any worth spending $80 to get the external slave tranny even tho it wasn’t working. Side note, where can I find these warrantied transmissions for $200?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I buy all mine from a Southwest Auto in Terre Haute, IN. Ha. The ax-15 I got from them is what is behind the Cummins in my MJ now. Haven't done anything to it at all yet...Midwest Auto Jeep in Vincennes,IN sells nothing but jeep parts and ships everywhere. They've got "junk yard" prices but bought a lot of stuff off them too. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I watched all three vids last night. You won't find a more thorough rebuild anywhere......great vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The external slave is worth a lot to me. I'd drop $100 for the external bell housing, fork and retainer themselves. Based on the video Jeep Driver posted, I wouldn't hesitate to rebuild the AX-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I had no reason to watch that tear down video but I did. Very well done video! I would definitely use it if I ever needed to rebuild mine! Awesome Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
