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

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

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)

[offroader461]

this one has a 4cylinder housing...would that work for you??

What do you have behind your 3800 now? An AX-5? Is the 3800 V6 a 60 degree V6? Just wondered.
