1996 2WD 2.5/AX-15 Dakota in my local yard

I have no use for any of it, except maybe the headrest-equipped bench seat, but this showed up at the LKQ near me. 2.5l engine with AX-15...

too far to just hop on over.

The bellhousing would be $45 + tax + $2-3 environmental fee. I may take the shift tower and stick if it's still there this weekend. I could drop the trans on a 2WD truck without too much effort (famous last words). Couple of ratchet straps under it and long extensions to get to the bellhousing bolts. They're wanting $284 + tax (includes $30 core charge) + env fee for a manual trans. If it was a T56 in question, hells yeah for that price, even though I don't need a T56 or an AX-15 right now.

that's a lot of dough for a trans you don't need.    but lord knows I've spent more than I should have on parts I don't need just to keep them from becoming washing machines.
