AX15 transmission

Re: AX15 transmission
Both Chilton and the Quadratec catalog seem to indicate a AX-15 with
the AX-5 being models earlier to 91. Bill had some good comments.
However, I had the master cylinder and slave replaced sometime back.
Drat... that was the internal version too! Actually, over pumping the
clutch to compensate for a slave cylinder on its last legs cost me that
master cylinder, so I was told.
The problem is consistent with 2-3 shifts. It is a seriously blocked
shift. Rev'ing between gears does not help. I also have a transmission
whine and grind that I will partially right off to a disintegrating
transmission mount.
Geez... a professional rebuild may cost me a fortune. With the price of
vehicules these days, I might need to get burying in 'ye old YJ.
Thanks!

Re: AX15 transmission
It will be the AX-5, as Jerry said. Their fill plugs are on
opposite sides: http://www.----------.com/AX15lube.jpg
You have a broken sync ring for sure, it expands as the collar is
being slid over it jamming until you wiggle it going over it again. Your
only option is to rebuild it, as no other size transmission will fit the
nine inch clutch disk.

Re: AX15 transmission
The '94 year model four cylinder manual sported an external slave cylinder
clutch housing upgrade. Since you are going to have to replace the
transmission one way or another, I would look into upgrading the clutch
housing and slave unit to the new design at the same time. Perhaps you can
find everything you need at a recycling yard. I have a '95 with the 2.5
liter engine and AX-5 transmission. It is going on eighty thousand miles
with no problem, except for some reluctance to down shift into second in
cold weather.
I had a '61 Volvo with similar symptoms to your Jeep. It turns out that a
previous owner had assembled the transmission incorrectly! A "seriously
blocked shift" and whining sounds like something broken. Whining is usually
a bad gear, bearing or both, and the cost of parts to rebuild the
transmission will probably make you cry. These transmissions require
special tools and precise clearances to be rebuilt properly, and in my
opinion a professional rebuild is likely to be cheaper, in the long run,
than an amateur attempt.
