AX15 vs. NV3550
At this point, with many NV3550s running around out there what's the
consensus of this trans vs the older AX15? The AX15 was really trashed back in the early '90's but has apprent;y been robust enough to silence its critics. The NV3550 seems to have had some early problems but I wondered how the later ones have held up. |

There were first intro'd in MY2000, and mine has held up alright, no problems besides the noise, which has been consistent (i.e. not gotten worse). It is a somewhat stronger tranny, DC also put it behind the Dakota V8's. * * * Matt Macchiarolo www.townpeddler.com www.wolverine4wd.org http://wolverine4wd.org/rigs/macchiarolo_ml.html |

A lot of them are off-road miles. And lately I have been practicing clutchless shifting in case I ever lose my clutch. Have not yet changed the oil but will this winter. Standard gear oil is not specified for the NV3550, you have to use "Syncromesh" fluid, available at the dealer. There is an aftermarket fluid, I think it might be Pennzoil?
