Advance Adapter
This adapter plate kit allows you to upgrade from the AX5 to an AX15 transmission. The adapter kit includes a adapter plate, throw-out bearing snout, crossmember spacers, AX5 dowel pin, pilot bushing (fits late AX15 1997 & newer), AX15 seal, clutch disc, fastening hardware and adapter instructions.
Note: This retro-fit does require some parts from your old AX5 transmission. You'll need to retain the AX5 bell housing and shifter housing.
Note: This adapter plate assembly is for exclusive use with the PRE 1994 AX5 bell housing with the internal slave cylinder only!!!
Transfer Case

We offer two 23 spline input gears for the Jeep NP231:
PN716054A 1988 to 1994 NP231
PN716095 1995 & UP NP231 (when using this gear with the AX15, the input gear must be shortened).
Transmission
The Jeep AX15 transmission is a medium-duty, standard
