Re: AX15 transmission
Mechanics and physicians hate problems that come and go. One thing to try
is to replace the fluid with high quality synthetic manual transmission
fluid of the proper weight. That is API/GL5 75W90. This looks like a good
bet
http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...h.asp&N=400117. I
used the Mobil 1 offering from Checkers in my YJ, and it did all right.
When I was younger I was told that all you need in addition to ordinary
mechanic's tools is "good snap ring pliers and a brass drift". The service
manual from Jeep/Mopar will have all the special tools, clearances, and
specs. The source for the special tools is Miller Special Tools. Your Jeep
dealer will have their phone number. Many special tools can be made or
approximated with materials at hand, but some are impossible. If you get
the Miller Special Tools catalog, take a look at the kit for setting up Dana
axles. It is real slick and chances are you will need or want it in the
future.
A mechanical engineer is not the same as a technician who has rebuilt
several manual transmissions already. If there is really a transmission
problem, that is who you will need.

Re: AX15 transmission
Earl, GL-5 is exactly what you don't want to run in the AX-5 or AX-15.
Jeep dropped the GL-5 recommendation several years ago and now specifies
GL-3, though GL-4 is ok too. Most GL-5 gear lubes have sulphur-based
additves that are harmful to the soft yellow metals used to make the
gear synchronizers. GL-5 is mainly meant for the hypoid cut gears used
in the differentials.

Jeep dropped the GL-5 recommendation several years ago and now specifies
GL-3, though GL-4 is ok too. Most GL-5 gear lubes have sulphur-based
additves that are harmful to the soft yellow metals used to make the
gear synchronizers. GL-5 is mainly meant for the hypoid cut gears used
in the differentials.

Re: AX15 transmission
Earl, GL-5 is exactly what you don't want to run in the AX-5 or AX-15.
Jeep dropped the GL-5 recommendation several years ago and now specifies
GL-3, though GL-4 is ok too. Most GL-5 gear lubes have sulphur-based
additves that are harmful to the soft yellow metals used to make the
gear synchronizers. GL-5 is mainly meant for the hypoid cut gears used
in the differentials.
