This is going to be my first trans build. And I dont want to spare any possible upgrades. Once the block gets about 100k on her or I find 5k burning holes in a bank account :rofl: I plan to do a 4.7 stroker. When the XJ goes under the knife(hopefully this fall) everything from the transmission...

I mean thats the obvious thing, thats why theres a fully built 8.8 with 4.30s ready to go in the ass end. Fortunately, my XJ is a driveway princess along with my BMW. Ive got an $800 2wd Comanche 2.5I thats the DD. I want to build the XJ as a beast high adventure/offroad capable bad boy.

As far as your test dummy goes, I have unaltered and semi low mile(54,378 to be exact) AW4/4.0 drivetrain. With 4.5", 33s, and stock 3.55 gearing, I notice on long trips, in example my 120 mi trek to the mountains in the winter to go snowboarding, if I drive on the HWY in overdrive eventually...

Ohhh baby...!! :clap::clap::clap: Happy, happy.. joy, joy.. Cant wait! Anways, to make this post non pointless... So its my understandings, DD/dual purpose vehicles, in example: 4.0 displacement, simple bolt-ons, tuned, medium tires ~35, appropriate gearing, etc. go stage 1 route and then...

Sounds good. Awaiting official word :thumbup:

True. I aquired the AX-15 mostly based on impulse.. Pretty much went GO.Ready.Set. Im just fed up with the AX-4 and its leaking pretty good so I just need it gone.

Ah, good idea. Thanks again:wave:

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I guess I need to find out which of the two (internal/external) would be a better choice.

Ahh :facepalm: Makes sense now... Thanks for the clarification. What are all the "bits" you are referring to? And whats this Ive read about internal/external slave cylinders? I contacted the PO and he pulled the trans from a '92 XJ

Pardon my ignorance, what exactly does "6-242" and "4-150" stand for? I just want a 5-spd trans. The MJ is completely stock at the moment, I just feel like the its revving out a little too much on the interstate and high speeds. Itll just be nice to have an overdrive. So besides a new bell...

Just recently aquired an AX-15 that I hope to swap into my '87 Comanche. A little info: 1987 Jeep Comanche- 2.5L I4; 4 speed, AX-4 Transmission(?); 2wd; SWB Purchased 2wd AX-15 I know nothing about drivetrain swaps, motors or trannys. Ive never removed a transmission, changed a clutch...

Hey, my XJ is hopefully going under the knife next month (at earliest, fingers crossed) axle swaps, cooling overhaul, and hopefully some tranny work. I would really like to incorporate your VB in this work list. So whats the current status on getting a hand on one of these bad boys?

got and more shots of how the hatch is setup/works?

So 150 bucks + freight gets a rebuilt "near bullet proof" AW4?
