SO, the answer is YES! You can in fact swap the two to get the better transmission in your 4cyl YJ. All that is required: 1) gasket between transfer case and trans(seals and such as well if you’d like while its apart), and 2)Swap the bellhousing and transfer case from your AX5 to your new/used AX15. THATS IT!
What’s the difference between an AX5 and an AX15 transmission?
If you look at the AX15 and AX5 side by side you will see a huge difference. The gears are larger, shafts are larger, bearings are larger, case is larger. It is the AX5 on steroids. If someone plans on modifying their Jeep and offroading it usually is not too big of a concern at first.
What type of transmission is the AX15?
The AX15 is a split-case, top shifting, overdrive transmission with the shifter being located in the rear section of the transmission. The AX15 is fully synchronized in all gears.
How does the AX15 shift mechanism work?
The AX15 shift mechanism is integral and mounted in the shift tower portion of the adapter housing, which is used to attach the transmission to the transfer case on 4WD models. 2WD models use standard extension housing. First to fourth gear ranges are in line for smooth shifting.
How many splines does a jeep AX15 transmission have?
In the vein of newer transmissions, the AX15 uses dowel pins for bellhousing alignment. The 4wd version of the Jeep AX15 has a 23 spline output shaft for connecting to the transfer case input shaft.
