AX-15 smoothness?
I just bought an 87 YJ with a supposedly rebuilt AX-15. The tranny
seems a bit clunky between gears, not real smooth, it seems I have to pause a bit between gears to let the synchros engage. I don't hear any grinding. Is this normal for an AX-15? Thanks -- o_o_o_o /| ,[_____], |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻŻŻ )_) |
Re: AX-15 smoothness?
First determine what you have for a transmission:
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/swb/articles/specgrid.htm Although it could have been converted. You may have a sychro problem, but usually with the early YJs the hydraulic clutch fails to completely disengage.
