    Jeep Fix

    Figured I would start a thread before I tear this thing apart and get everyone's opinion on whats best options.

    Specs:
    1987 YJ
    4.2L with Motorcraft 2100 carb
    3.07 gears
    new Autometer Gauges
    Peugeot BA 10-5 Transmission with no reverse

    Future upgrades:
    new trans
    lower gears
    spray in bedliner
    front bumper

    I want to keep this jeep simple, but i want to fix it right without going broke.

    Right now i need to look at transmission options. A while back the transmission started clicking/poping while backing up. Gears 1-5 work fine. Now it has completely lost reverse and just grinds. Occasionally it will pop out of reverse when you let the clutch out, usually stays in gear, and grinds.

    I am about to pull the transmission and split it open, but should i fix this trans or spend the money for an ax15? Are there any other options?

    Transmission mount wore out and caused the skid plate to wear a hole in the t-case.

    Does anyone have a bellhousing to an ax15 for sale? Or know where I can find one.

    I have a rebuilt trans and a new rear cover on the t-case. The bellhousing is the only part I still need to put this back together.

    They should have come in 91-99 Cherokee and yj with a 4.0 or 4.2.

    Ya it changed, but I've seen some that use the same housing. They have a cover over the external cylinder mounting surface with a smaller hole for internal lines. Just remove the cover and it works for external slave cylinders.

    I am switching over to an external slave cylinder. So, 95-99 will definitely work. Some 91-95s will work. I think some newer ones will work too. Does a NV3550 have the same bolt pattern as the ax15?

    I am about 90% sure that JP did a write up on a Jeep very similar to this one not too long ago.
