8/89? Damn I'm pretty certain that would be considered a 1990 model year....

Jeep / chrysler sure does strange things.

freegdr

It is according to build date but not the tittle.

im confused now ,am I still looking for a 95 and up ? and up too what? I think I have found a 99 but thing pops out of 1rst gear sometimes ,its a girls jeep so im thinking it might be a girl thing ,lol sorry girls ,no pun intended.what is with the 8/90 thingy ?did I miss something?

cherokee-4

I have another stupid question ,if 87 to 90 have the ba/10 and 95 and up have the ax-15 ,what does the 90 to 95 have in it ?

salad

Good grief no... $300-$400 will get you an AX-15 with good synchros.

1989-1999 all used the AX-15, what changed in 1995 was switching from an internal slave cylinder to an external slave cylinder. The transmission is the same, the bellhousing is different. They're both reliable, just the earlier model's a real pain in the *** if you have to service the slave cylinder...

2000+ uses the NV-3550 which is also a fine swap. They're in TJs too. Just damn rare.

To change transmissions you'll need the whole thing, bell housing too, and a pile of the clutch parts. I'm not well versed on it but everything except the flywheel I imagine would cover it...

Sounds like the synchro for first gear is blown if it's just popping out. People love to jam transmissions into first when still moving for some reason. I don't get it.

ty for the lesson on jeep trannys salad, I really appreciate e1 help ,I will gt some pics up soon,u guys r great folks

I have found a few jeeps and I wonderered if the 2 doors have the same wheel base as the 4 doors,. if im gonna change tranny over from the ba/10 to the ax-15 I will need the drive shafts also ,right?

salad

Yes. The only differences are the front seats, doors, and side panels.

Same length driveshaft. If you have 4WD, you'll need to change transfer cases or change the input gears. Chart here: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge...nput_gears.htm I am not sure if the output shafts are different in 2WD models.
