Help on guidelines on an ax15 installation , women's bra size helps?
 

Next week I'll be ready to embark on swapping out an ax15 transmission
on a YJ 92, low on cash, average novice mechanical skill.

Being that I have not performed this with a 4wd drive vehicle before
and its been some 12years since I did anything like this, I'm looking
for any tips, website instructions, personal journals...prayers, you
name it.


One break is the clutch and the bearings... (throughout and pilot)?
were replaced just 8 months ago. So I don't have to open up the bell
housing... at least I don't think so.

The synchronizers have become progressively worse, eliminated wrong
fluid, low fluid ect, so I already purchased a refurbished ax-15.

I know I need beer and a clevage bearing lady assistant to make things
go better, but through anything and as much detail as possibloe if you
would please!

Thanks

On my CJ, I made a sling from the roll cage (I have a 6-point cage) to hold
the trans and tcase and control the drop. Then I held the trans and tcase up
with a floor jack and took the skid plate down. Then I removed the bolts and
other stuff that gets in the way, and lowered the floor jack while holding
the load with the sling. The tcase and trans will come down together, after
that it's a regular car.

You will be opening the bellhousing again, puny Japanese
transmissions are bolted from inside:
http://www.----------.com/ax5_ax15.jpg Most hack a hole through the
floorboards to get to the bolt above the starter, unless you have
several thousands in tools.

Can you remove the boot and the access plate over the shifter instead
of cutting through the floor board? I think that is how I did
it...plus 2 long extensions and a wobble adapter.
