I just bought a 1993 2wd 2door ax15 4.0l cherokee and it will not go into third at all and i have to basically slam it into fourth for it to go in.

So obviously I need to fix this situation as I am to make this my daily.

The PO gave me a dodge dakota ax15 and a new arney clutch kit.

my question is will the dakota ax15 actually work? (before i pull the trigger on getting to teardown)

both ax15 are 2wd.

 

Yes u need to use the xj bell housing with the ax15

 

what about input and output splines?

 

anyone have more info?

 

It's the exact same tranny, the dodge one has a different bellhousing, swap bellhousings and your fine. Spline count n/a. Both vehicles have the same

 

so if i pull my drive shaft off it will fit the other tail shaft? cause ive read jeep ax15s have a 23 spline output and the dakota ax15 that i have has a 27 spline output

 

Count em, easiest way to tell

 

yeah. I guess ill pull it off tomorrow

 

yoke completly doesnt fit on the other output shaft. the diameter of the shaft is smaller
