    At some point in the mid-late 70's Jeep tried a V-6 in the CJ's. Don't even go there, it is about as useless as the ax-5.

    Hope I didn't confuse you, an AX-15 is the transmission used behind the 6 cyl. Anyway, glad to hear your going with a 6 cyl. When I first bought my Jeep it had the 4 cyl. It was way to under powered for what I needed and basically cost more in gas just because the engine had to work to hard...

    Did you get the TDI Jetta? The TDI has a lot of speed to it for getting almost 50mpg.

    The 5-speed manual transmission is my weapon of choice when it comes to Jeeps. However, it is completly up to you. The 5-speed behind the 6 cyl. is known as the ax-15 and has been used in Jeeps with relatively no trouble since the early era wranglers. The 4 cyl. manual is known as the ax-5...

    yj rough running HELP!!!!!

    Have you done a compression test on each cylinder? If your compression test reads that the cylinders are not compressing get a bottle of "Seafoam" or B-12 chemtool from a parts store. When the engine is running pour about 1/3 of the fluid in the bottle in your carb slowly until the engine...

    If you plan on only driving this Jeep around town, to work, and weekend offroading the 4cyl. is an alright engine. It has plenty of torque offroad but only 80-110 HP with not that great of gas mileage. It's basically a tractor engine, a long stroke w/low power. It also has a weak manual...

    SYE or T-case drop?

    So i've come to the point where I have to make a quick decision on whether to go all out and get a SYE kit for my NP241 in my YJ or just drop the t-case an inch. I have just finished putting a chevy 4.3L and NV3500 transmission in my 1988 YJ and need to drive it 2300 miles to Washington state...

    President Bush lives in Dreamland!

    The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments. -George Washington This same man advised against splitting into political parties in the first place. I guess there is a reason his face is carved into the...

    K&N Drop In

    A K&N drop in was the best mod I made to my 2.5L. It's worth the money!

    AX5/AX15 For Sale

    I have two transmissions for sale, one AX5 and an AX15. These would be best used as parts transmissions but may also be rebuilt. I thought I would rebuild them but haven't had the time or will. You name the price I just want them out of my shop. Zip code for shipping:75607

    4cyl. and np231

    I'm not sure if you are talking about the trans or the engine so I looked up both. I'll start with the bad news first. UPS only offered UPS Air freight as an option to ship the engine but it is a two day delivery. The price was almost $900!?! I'm sure there has to be a cheaper way to ship...

    President Bush lives in Dreamland!

    I'm starting to think this summer is going to be a lot like the second Mad Max movie. A post apocolyptic world where no one has an excess of fuel supply and robbers stop you on the highway to steal what fuel you have left in an already dry tank. No one is going to be able to afford gas at...

    Wrangler with a diesel

    The VW TDI Jetta engine is a bawlsy little powerplant. It is pretty high maintenance though and what it makes up for in torque(247#) it losses in HP(just over 100?). Sure getting 50 MPG on the trail would be nice but not a neccesity. I would still push for the Cummins 4BT (3.9L 4cyl) and...
