so i found a transmission from a yj, i was wondering if anyone knows the input shaft diameter? i need to buy an adapter and they are asking me for the shaft diameter. 3/4'' (.75") or 19/32" (.59375"). also would the flywheel from my 2.5l be the same as the flywheel from the 4.0l yj? or should i just try and get the flywheel from him too? thanks
You made no mention of you having a 2.5L, this is a MAJOR detail to leave out. This is a whole different ballgame, do a lot of searching and learn what all is involved before buying parts. Your engine has a different bolt pattern than a 4.0. The AX15 was not offered behind a 2.5 the AX5 was and it is weak. The flywheels are different, you have the small pilot input, Jeep never made a bellhousing to mate the AX15 to a 2.5, etc.
IIRC there is a Dodge bellhousing from a v6 that you can use, but not positive on details.

Thanks for the info, and yea I'm not trying to mate it to the 2.5 I'm actually mating it to a om617 (3.0l turbo diesel) from a Mercedes with an adapter. And yea the yj is a 4.0 or at least that's what the guy has told me. I haven't bought it yet, he was supposed to take it of today. The thing is that the guys selling the adapters are asking what the input shaft diameter is. But I guess ill measure it when I do get, if I get it.
The input on all Jeep AX15's was 1.125 x 10spl. The small pilot (19/32") was used from 1988-1991 and the larger pilot (3/4") was used from 1992+. Just as a FYI there are a few other closely related trannies that will interchange parts and gears with the AX15 such as the Toyota R151, Dodge dakota, and a few GM trannies.
Have you checked out 4btswaps.com for diesel swap info? There are a several people using the om617 in various chassis over on that site. My build thread is there as well but I used a 4bt.

you might write Darwin at d.ogdahl@cox.net he just bought my AX-15 and had to get the pilot bushing for his 4.0L, so he probably knows the input shaft measurement..

Hi I was wondering if the ax15 has any id tag or anything like that. The thing is if I do buy the transmission I have in mind, I'm not going to be able to pick it up and I'm going to send my sister for it and I was wondering if theres any thing easy to check to make sure its the ax15?
