i believe this 5 speed is the old 5 speed, not the ax-15...i know the other one is alot weaker....buddies tihnkin of buyin a 88 Comanche with a 2.5L 5 speed.
$800 bucks...slave and reservoir and clutch also need work. worth it?

 

easyly well it depends on what condition its in...is it smashed or clean because most clean commaches i see around are 2k its nuts

 

well the clutch, slave and reservoir need work...or to be replaced.

 

If the Body, interior, and bed are good, i say go for it. sounds like a sweet deal to me.

 

any idea what transmission is in it?

 

AX-5
'84-'99 XJ Cherokee with 2.5L I-4, 2.8L V6 and 2.1L I-4 Turbo Diesel.
'86-'92 MJ Comanche with 2.5L I-4, 2.8L V6 ('86 only), 2.1L I-4 Turbo Diesel and 2.8L Turbo Diesel(export model).
'87-'95 YJ Wrangler with 2.5L I-4 only.
'97-'02 TJ Wrangler with 2.5L I-4 only
Check with ping pong, he knows mj's well..

 

istn the ax-5 a time bomb?

 

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.

 

ok. thanks.

 

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?
