Yes, an AX5 should bolt right in. But make sure you don't have the Borg Warner T4. If you do, the T5 will bolt in its place.

You probably have the AX tranny, but I threw the other info in because I have never heard of anyone having an AX4. I have a T-4 in my shop so that is what spurred my thinking. The T-4 os more of a square pattern in the front of it.
