I have a march built 1989 cherokee 5 speed. It appears to be a ax15 to me but, I'm not an expert. I tryed doin a lot of research and from what I've found, it looks like a ax15 but, what are things I can look for on the bottom and sides to tell? It appears the trans is a 3 piece as in, big front (not the bell housing), small center and medium size end, if that helps any.

 

May post some pics...

 

My phone won't allow me to post pics. I don't have a computer, sorry.

 

That helps. You probly have an ax15.

 

That's what I was thinkin. The pics I was lookin at on the internet looks like that but, its kind of hard to tell on my phone.

 

The BA 10/5 has a 2 piece case that's split down the center. The AX 15 has a solid case

 

Ok. So there would be noticable bolts on the bottom of the trans holding it together?

 

Easy way - eyeball the bottom of the case. If it's split longwise, it's the Peugeot BA-10/5 (may as well start looking for your replacement now.) If it's divided into three sections - front housing, rear housing, centre plate - not including the transfer case adapter housing or bellhousing - it's the AX-15.

Sounds like you've got the AX-15. If it's split longwise, it's fairly obvious. And yes, you'd see the case half screw heads on the bottom of the case going crosswise.

 

Just took some pics. Ba 10/5

 

SWEET! Looks like I lucked out on that :-). Mine is the ax15. Thanks for all the help and pictures. Now I just need to get my lift. I got 33" toyo mt's brand new just chillin waitin for the lift of choice.

 

At least you lucked out. Im stuck with the pukegeot for now. PO said it had been replaced once already, hope I can make it last a while yet!
