Yes there is linkage modification, dont worry its not too bad Anyways its updated in the original post under Reassembly Part II

What yard you going to? Pull-N-Save in Aurora? Man I miss that place... could always count on finding at least 4 or 5 good XJ's out there and prices were great.
For everyone else out there, here is an example of their pricing: WEEKLY SPECIALS for JULY 8,9, & 10th any REAR END - $27.99 any CYLINDER HEAD W/CAM - $17.99 any CYLINDER HEAD WO/CAM - $7.99 Craziness... you could potentially get a D44 for under $30 (I saw three in about two years... slim chance, but possible).

Great write-up. Probably shouldn't have read it because now i'm 99% going to do it
![]() I searched, but nothing came up that answered me, so I fugured i'd ask in this thread, instead of starting yet another one. I have a 95 xj, and i see the punch holes, however i have 3, so i'm just assuming the middle one is the center of the hole and the other 2 are the bolt holes. However, these punches are just an inch above the large fuse box and its connector inside the engine bay and under the dash. I couldn't see from your pictures, but is the fusebox located there for you as well? Or for anyone whose done this on a later XJ, was there any clearence issues with the fuse box? Also, i'll swap it if i must, but i'm kinda attached to my NP242, so were there ANY manuals that had the correct splines? If not, does anyone make an adapter, or am I fixed into using a 231 ( not neccesarily bad) ? |

Also, now that i think about it, and maybe yours is different because it's RENIX, but wouldnt the OBD1 computer have a fit when i hit overdrive speeds? I'd probably have to get the ECM from the manual cherokee as well.

Can someone tell me if there is a difference in the manual transmission or general systems of the '97-'99 Cherokees and the '00-'01?
I guess what I am asking is, if I am looking for parts to do a manual transmission swap into my 2000 Cherokee, will the AX-15 and other manual transmission parts from any '97-'01 work or should I be looking only for '00-'01 parts? I have been browsing some transmission parts on ebay and some of the AX-15 listings say "will work for '89-'99" and I am wondering what if any differences there are between '99 and '00-'01? I would appreciate some input if anyone knows. Thanks! |

I saw no mention of the pilot bearing. Or maybe I just missed it.
You DID install a pilot bearing, right? ![]() |

I thought he said it came with the clutch kit, and he installed when installing the clutch?

That would be the throw out bearing. Different from a pilot bearing. Just wondering because it wasn't in the description or on the parts list.

P.S. The more research i do, i'm pretty sure the Crossmembers are the same for Auto vs. Manual, atleast on the later models. Looks like the AX-15 just uses a plate that kinda bridges the "gap" between the tranny and crossmember.
