89 YJ ax15 mount solutions...
 

Hey, I'm new to this forum so I apologize if someone has already covered this topic.
Anyway, I'm rebuilding an 89 YJ sahara with a 4.2. I originally had a peugeot ba 10/5 that had a reverse gear problem. So....I opted to swap in an ax-15 also from an 89 YJ (produced later in that year). Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had any tips on the swap. ie: swapping spedo, sensor, etc... My main reason for this post is to figure out what to do about that trans mount. I've read that i can buy the advance adapters nv3550 plate http://www.advanceadapters.com/products/pn-716007/ and pretty much bolt it right in. Any other ideas???
Thanks very much!

try to get all the parts you need with tranny. or junk yard if you are handy you could make your own mounts.

I'm pretty sure I have all the parts I need. I was able to purchase an ax15 already mated to a np231 so I'm not worried about the output shaft problem. I just wondered if I'm overlooking something small. also, Does the ax15 have two vents like the peugeot, or just one. I've also noticed the back up sensor is located in a different place and has a different plug. Can the one from the peugeot be swapped into the ax???

Found in another post that the reverse sensors are not the same. The person opted to cut and splice the wires so looks like that's what I'll be doing.
