offroader461 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 AX-5 was used behind the 2.8 and the 4 banger AX-15 was put behind the 4.0L different internal gear setups to handle the diffence in power i believe...just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 all this talk about tranies made me wonder what is the real difference between the two are, can anybody pleas in form me ? ax5 ax15 they're visually similar except size...the ax5 is shorter than an ax15, and quite a bit less durable. the ax5 was usually mated to a gm 60 degree bellhousing, whereas the ax15 was usually mated to a amc (4.0) housing. the ax15 was available in early dakotas with a gm 60 degree bellhousing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 would and AX15 out of a 4cylinder dakota bolt up to the 4.0??? No, it will not. The bellhousings are completely different. what he said. if you find an ax15 from a dodge dakota, I want the bellhousing. I'd give you a 4.0 bellhousing to go with it, I'd even find you an external slave one (hint, I need an ax15 bellhousing from a dakota so I can put an ax15 behind the 3800) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An AX-5? Is the 3800 V6 a 60 degree V6? Just wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
