1986 Jeep Cherokee Pickup, new 2.8 Liter V6 4X4, body sound,
transmission bad, $1,000



I saw this in the paper, and I have an AX-15 and a Peugeot tranny sitting here. How hard will it be to put one of these behind this engine?

if either one came from a 4 banger it will fit the bellhousing (peugot best bet there), but that is just the start of your troubles if the tranny in it was an auto.

I have yet to determine what tranny is in it now. Both my trannys are from a 4.0L. If it have an auto do I need a new flywheel?

Yes, because it has a flex plate if it has an auto.

definately wont bolt up, if you're lookin for cheap find another tranny or let that one go

the adapters, rebuilding and related shizi will run you damn near as much as a new tranny
