I just bought an '89 XJ with the infamous Peugeot transmission. Even with the low mileage of the vehicle (approx 135k), the transmission is already pretty much pooched. I was looking at swapping it with an AX-15, and had a couple questions:
1: I know that the external slave cylinder transmissions are preferable (After '93 I think it is?) however, how much extra work is involved in the removal/installation of this system into an older XJ?

2. The Jeep is a 2WD, and most of the Jeeps at the junkyards where I am are 4WD. Is it possible to swap a 4WD transmission into a 2WD application?

Thanks in advance,
Evan.

Its possible just use transfercase but with out front shaft.

Hmm, yes I was certainly considering that. Will I need a shorter DS if I use the xfer case? The "housing output" or whatever the piece called on the 2WD may be shorter?

No way in Hell I'm going to type all this up again, so here you go - http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=70388

Details of the swap, including my own (BA-10 to AX-15i, I'll update it with going to the AX-15e, when I get a chance.)

Of course a donor vechicle is the easiest way all you need is there except pilot bearing from advanced/novac adapters. Ba 10 to Ax 15
