It's not as bad as the t-5 by borg warner. It doesn't have the after market support that the ax-15 has. If it will see lots of rough play and or big tires, it might be the weak link.

It is the AX5. decnt trans in a stock to midly modded rig. If it goes south swap in a ax 15. Later model ones are external slave. 21 spline output. Overall a DECENT trans in a mild rig.

$800 for a vehicle that drives can't be a bad deal. Not in my neck of the woods.

Sorry for hi-jacking. I was ust curious if an ax-15 would be a direct replacement of my ax-4 or do I have to change alot of stuff?
