why do (think) you need a steering box? If in the Chicago area I can tell you of a rebuilder. Just got one there for my son's Ramcharger yesterday.

DON'T shift by that light; pull the bulb or put black tape over it.

ooh boy; another 350-into-a Jeep; *yawn*

the Ax 15 was made in 2 versions; 2WD and 4WD; Dakotas YJs TJs and XJs all used this transmission. the only differences are they changed something about the 5th gear synchro inside in/around 1992, and the bellhousing between the 2.5 (same as they used in Dakotas 91+) the 4.0L and the Dakota 3.9...

ooh boy; I saw scale inside my frame, going up past the holes in the sidewalls of the frame right behind where the running board mount is; you can stick your finger in and feel the buildup; The way I discovered really how bad mine was, a couple ways. Back in about '06, I had to have a new cat...

well the rebuilt AX 15 is night and day; I have owned this TJ 11 years now and I never remember it shifting this easy; I took the opportunity to put in a new clutch while it was apart; I aint so sure I like my new Centerforce yet.... gonna take some gettin used to, it is definitely "lighter" on...

I had to replace the frame on my 97 TJ 2 years ago and that was even with it sittin in the garage 2 winters (protected from road salt) because I was under a "no manual transmission" restriction from, a Dr for 18 months in fall '07 til spring 09..... I discovered the bad frame while sitting, and...

My brother had an 80 CJ5 that we put a 351C into, with a T18; he went with a CF and never had an issue, that was with mechanical clutch linkage. I would have probably gone stock on the TJ, if I didn't have the CF here already; meaning $0 out of pocket at the moment; even a stock clutch would...

I will tell ya as I drive mine; I just put a C-force into my TJ today. I guess it is the CF-II; I bought the pressure plate several years ago from Ebay and it would up not fitting what I got it for; (It lists the same one for a Jeep 4.0 and a Dakota 3.9; I figured it would be the same as well...

if it helps, we got the AX 15 apart tonite and it was in your face obvious, the 2 synchros that were so badly worn out.... got everything pressed apart from teh output shaft and pressed back together; so far it is going better than expected and cheaper than a used junkyard trans (especially...

did u swap in a Ford motor? I see in your 1st post that you claim to have a 4.0 V-6.... not if it's a JEEP 4.0, it's not!

I had the rad go out on my 97XJ last year, I called all over and got answers from the rad I WANTED was no longer available to it would cost me $265 to yeah can get for $418; I went to Advance ordered their "Heatbuster" for $190; it was what I wanted; copper/brass instead of plastic/alum; and...

I'm about to find out on my AX 15 tomorrow when I hike it over to my buddy's house in the bed of my pickup; along with my 12 ton press which I guess is a necessity when redoing one of these; this will be my 1st manual transmission overhaul. this buddy of mine, he's a mopar dealer transmission...

:agree::agree:I have a 97 TJ with a 4.0/AX15, that I just pulled out to rebuild the AX 15.... I asked,looked around and nothing. I was hoping to find a rebuildable core so that I didnt have to be in a hurry to rebuild this one once it hit the ground; I can't afford to have my 97 down for very...

ALL "1/2 ton" DODGE trucks and 1/2-3/4 ton vans (except Dakota) went to 5 on 5-1/2 in 85. Signguy; where are you located? My son has an 89 Ramcharger and is looking for different wheels.

yeah if I could FIND one.... I called around for a transmission for my 97 and every yard laughed and said "good luck". I found (1) AX15 on CL with the same problem as mine (needing rebuilt) the idiot wanted $350; I offered him $100 as a core; because I wanted to rebuild another and then swap...

check out ESPO springs out of PA; the last time I had a set of springs redone it cost me more than new ones would have. and other than not wasting your time wrestling U bolts (torch em off, figure on new ones) leaf springs are not bad at all to replace.

most everything but the doors, and the computer crap as 96 started OBDII otherwise alnost everything should swap from a 95 to a 96 97 was when they made some body changes etc. You ARE keeping the 2 door/stick, RIGHT? otherwise you are nuts.

ohhh REALLY? I have the AX 15, just turned 110K and have been nursing it since about 87K..... my brother has a YJ with an AX5, he nursed 3rd gear in for about 80K before it grenaded; I had been thinking of trying to get me a 6 speed. they put the 6 speed in with a 4 cylinder? I would never...

I certainly miss my YJ.... it was much less of a handful driving when it gets windy (20+ winds especially) When it is relatively calm (<20MPH wind) the TJ ain't bad.
