I have a previous posting about by son's clutch and transmission dying on his 1988 cherokee.
Here's the question - one of the replies suggested that since it looks like we are going to have to drop the tranny to replase the internal slave and most likely the rest of the clutch, he might want to think about swapping in an AX15, since the BA10's are notorious for failing.
Right now, besides the clutch being out, the shift lever will move back and forth in netural, but will not go into any gear. From what I've been told, the shifting forks are out of line and if we pull the console and open up the top of the tranny, we can re-aline the forks and get the shifting problem fixed.
I found an AX15 out of a 1997 TJ for $100. But I was wondering if anyone has done this swap into a 1988 cherokee. I know the slave is external on the AX15, which would be a good thing, but have no idea if we are going to need a new bell housing, if the transfer case will swap over or what else we are going to run into. One of the responses stated that it's an "easy" swap, but just wondering if anyone else has done this and just how easy it really is.
Sorry for my stupidity, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
