Hi everyone. I have a problem. My manual 5sp Peugot tranny just went out on my 88 XJ 4.0L w/ 182K. Naturally, one would just say get a new tranny. Number one, I don't know which tranny to get because from what I understand, I do not want another Peugot. The other delima is the fact that I soon plan to convert my XJ into a '96 High Output model from a wrecked one. Since the '96 I want to get is an auto, and I want a manual, I will be changig tranny's eventually. I am currently financially unable to begin the swap process. This means I need to either: A. buy a tranny to fit my '88, but from what I understand won't fit the '96, which will then be basically wasted because I won't be using the 88 anymore. Or, park the thing and try to come up with another rig to drive around(which means buying one) and slowly start the swapping process.
I guess my first question is, does anyone know of a manual tranny that will bolt to my 88 4.0 as well as a 96 H.O. 4.0? Is there any type of adapter I can buy to make this work. I think I would like to utilize an AX-15. Thanks in advance for everyone's help in figuring out what to do.
