transmission replacement issue

[broythomas]

I have a 1992 jeep comanche 2wd with the 4.0 and an ax-15. I'm turning it into a 4wd and rounded up everything and all of it seems to fit except for one thing. My new ax-15 4wd transmission is a 1994 and apparently they switched the clutch system. I don't have the bell housing for the 1994 only the one for the 1992. The clutch control thing doesn't fit from the new clutch (For a 1992). To make this work, do I need to get a new bell housing and a whole new clutch system? Or can the front retainer plate from the 1992 transmission be put on the 1994 transmission and work? Thanks.

The retainer plate should swap just fine. However, since everything's going to be apart, you'd be better off finding everything to keep the external slave setup.

I agree that would be better, but I'm a little low on cash and this is my daily driver. (Luckily I live about a 2 minute walk from work) and my new clutch kit came with a new one for the 1992 so if changing the plate will work I'll have to do that since the nearest junk yard is along ways away.
