Hi all, I recently purchased a 88 wrangler with the 4.2L that has all the mounting holes on the transmission broken. From what I can tell it still has the Peugeot tranny in it. Would a peugeot tranny out of a Cherokee bolt right up? What would be the cheapest/easiest tranny to swap into this? Perhaps a newer AX-15?
yes the ax-15 is a much better tranny, the pueg will loose gears if you dump the clutch hard enough.
The pueg out of a cherokee will work... but you will need to reuse your transfer case, and let it be known that the transfer case will need to be "clocked" basically turned a little... if it was me, i would go with an ax-15, and change out the input shaft on the transfer case you have to a 23 spline, and be done with it..
Ok, i just did some more climbing around and discovered something awesome, a previous owner already did a AX-15 swap. Bad news is the tranny mounts are still unusable. Now my question is are all AX-15 rear adapters the same so i can buy a replacement?
