Re: Tranny fill plug location on 86 cherokee?
Maybe getting close...
The stick on mine looks a *whole lot* like this one:
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/trans/ax15s.jpg
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/trans/ax15.html
With the wider part near the tranny.
But mine has an external slave and the article mentions that they moved it
outside in 1989 on the 4.0... mine's 1986 2.5.
I'm thinking it's an Aisin of some kind now.
Maybe an AX-4?
Heh i googled all over the place. Hard to find this bugger.

Have you seen this tranny? Pics included... (was Tranny fill plug location on 86 cherokee?)
Anybody know what tranny this is?
I posted some pics - trying to find fill hole on this dude...
http://s90248361.onlinehome.us/misc/tranny.htm
It's a 1986 2wd, 4 speed, 2.5 liter fuel injection. (the throttle body
injector)
