manual transmission choices for a 93YJ
 

Hey Folks

I have a 93YJ, 2.5" spring lift, 31" bfg AT's and have a couple of
questions.

the ax15 in it needs to be replaced or repaired. 3rd gear synchros dont
work, and I have to double clutch to shift. It's the OEM trans, and
would like to know should I replace, repair or upgrade.

I have heard good things about the chevy nvg4500 and it looks like all
I would need to do is to
get the bellhousing and trans mount adapters.

I do light fourwheeling, and camping. I plan on lower gearing, and
installing rear lockers, <love it on my truck>

I know if I stay stock, ax15 it should just bolt in, but if I spring
for the bigger trans, I can do more aggressive stuff, not extreme
wheeling, rock climbing or mud bogs.

please advise
Mike

The 4500 might be overkill unless you're planning on big power
upgrades. It's big, heavy, and expensive. But, it's also bullet
proof.

You'll probably need a 2 or 3 inch body lift before it'll fit between
the cross member and the body.

How many miles are on your Jeep? Unless you plan on going really big, a
rebuilt ax15 should be up to the task (as long as you maintain it).

Hi Mike,
Usually it done in conjunction with a stronger Dana 300, that could
be clocked to drive your front end:
