5spd trans help
Ok I just bought this today its a 88 4.0 5spd. It needs a pass side axle and the 5spd is bad in it.but it has a rough country 4.5 lift with extended brake lines,adjustable track bars and add a leaf and 33s.the guy I bought it from said only a 5spd from a 87-89 would fit it.is this true or can I get a trans from another year cherokee? thanks

You can convert it over to any cherokee 5 spd. But as far as drop in replacement yeah those are the only years that had the BA10/5 in it.

An ax15 will bolt in to it but since yours is an 88 the split was in 88 so find outvthe build date and confirm what tranny in it

Google image both...the BA10 is split in the middle. Easy to see the difference once you know what they look like. Or post a pic and we'll tell you...forget the#'s let us see!

Google is your Friend. Here is a link for both AX-15 & BA10/5. I found this useful when my AX-15 took a crap.
BA10/5: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/ba10_5.htm
AX-15: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/ax15.htm
Post what you find. Good Luck!

You just need to make sure the output of the tranny matches the input of the x-fer case. There are spline count and depth differences. I believe the Peugeot tranny has a 21 spline output (therefore your x-fer case will have a 21 spline input). I think that all the AX-15 and NV3550s have 23 spline outputs. When I swapped out my BA5/10 for an NV3550, I had to install a different input gear into my x-fer case.
