comanchee parts in YJ?

[Brad_Shep]

looking at buying a 4.0L 5spd 1987 comanchee and putting the 4.0L in my wrangler. Is it possible to put the comanchee trans. into my wrangler? like is it an AX15? The comanchee is only a 2wd too. Also, could i put the 2.5L and the AX5 from my wrangler and put it in the comanchee?
thanks

THat's some tough swaps. The '87 5speed should be the Peugeot BA10/5, they didn't introduce the AX15 until mid-year '89. You'll then have to figure out a way to mate your transfer case to the 2wd Peugeot transmission, not really worth the headache for a light-weight transmission with a bad rep.

You would need to swap the entire wiring harness and computer between the jeeps, along with the drivetrain.

I wouldn't ruin a good Comanche like that, the 2.5L will be useless with what's probably 3.07 gears in the MJ's axles.

For good MJ info, including swaps, check out www.comancheclub.com/forums .
