I have a 88 wrangler with the gay ass Puegot transmission mated to the stock NP231. My question is will a Ax15 bolt up to my straight 6. Which has a lower first gear? Or should i go with a AX5??

AX5 is 4 cyl no worky

get a real trans NP435 or T18


Adam,

If you want to find out, check out www.Jeeptech.com

it says "All AX-15s have a 1 1/8" 10 spline input shaft and a 23 spline output shaft" and the Pugeot "input shaft is 1 1/8" 10 spline" the output shaft is either " 21 spline or 23 spline"

I guess you'll have to pull your T-case and count the splines on the transmission output shaft, hoping and praying that it is the 23 spline shaft...

If you have the 21 spline out-put shaft then you'll need either a new T-case, or read the info below... also from jeeptech.

"There are versions of this chain driven transfer case that take 21 and 23 spline input shafts. The 23 spline version is used behind the AX-15 and the 21 spline is used behind the AX-5 and the BA 10/5... If you own a 21 spline NP231 and you want to swap in a 23 spline transmission, you can either look for a cheap 23 spline NP231 at the junk yard or go to your local Jeep Parts Dealer and order up a new input shaft part #5300-6085. This is the part you need to convert your NP231 to 23 spline input."


Good Luck

Thank for the input. I guess im out of luck. I have the 21 spline, so that really blows. Do you guys know what has a lower 1st gear though???

A T18 or 435 6.32.1 and 6.69.1 you pick


you wll spend god awfull money on the AX-15 or to have youre's rebuilt .


my .02cents

I have a 21 spline shaft for a T18 and a T18 trans all you need is a alum adapter and you are half way there I ran a 21 spline for 2 years with vortech 4.3 and 4.1 gears and 36 SX's and Dana 44 front and rear no problems !!!!
call me if interested 916-203-2326

you drove in my jeep and you know I am not easy on shait

Adam,

go with something stronger and with a lower first gear than a AX-15. I wasted my time twice installing ax-15's but kept destroying them.. now im automatic :D If you want to stay with a stick do like ant said.. those tranny's are beefy

Why'd you answer.. the topic title says TRANNY PROS.. :flipoff2: Anyway.. If you want it bigblackjeep, I have a puegot and t case for sale :D
Scott :grinpimp:<><

yea 1badjeeps got a nice peugot for sale, good cond. I should know I helped swap it out :D. BTW: areyou ever going to sell that thing or list it on ebay? there worth money :D

bigblackjeep,
A good retrofit for the '88 YJ/I-6, is the Ford NP435 and Ford Dana 20 t.case. It's a bolt on with the 6.5" stickout shaft if you use the '76-79 CJ bell housing for the T176/T150. The t.case is a driver's side hanger so will work with the YJ front axle, and has only a 1" thick factory adapter that will help lengthen your rear driveshaft, big time. My bro sold this combo a couple years ago to a YJ fan. It's the sturdiest trans/t.case you can bolt on behind your I-6 short of an Atlas. I just sold an NP435 in great shape 2 weeks ago for $200. Don't throw good money after the AX5/NP321.
regards, as always, jefe

Yo,
Its gonna get listed on Ebay as soon as I have the jeep back in working condition, and I know my tranny is all good... Then I will list it on ebay with a 500 reserve.. I figure its worth at least that much :D :flipoff2:

Ok so its a bolt on! How low is a Np 435 and im guessing its just a 4 speed. Is a dana 20 and strong transfercase. And can you put a 4 to 1 in it.

Np435 is 6.69 . 1 first gear Granny

this is what i am suggesting also the T18 is 6.32.1 first gear granny
