Transmission help

Well it happened yesterday on the way home from a funeral the trans in my YJ went bang It is a 5 speed and a 2.5 1995 model. My question is what other year or engine trans will work in it? Thanks in advance .
David

David,

Here's what I found:

2.5L I-4's: For all years, the only manual transmission is the Aisin-Warner AX-5, 5 speed.
** Note: In 1994, the slave cylinder on manual transmissions was moved outside of the transmissions bellhousing to allow for easier replacement.

I bet all years will bolt up.

I did find these two units on Car-part.com

I thuoght about it Tim I have a stout built .040 over 427 but then I would have to deal with the loss of my 19 MPG . thanks for all the help I talked to the guys im McGregor yesterday and the more I think( yeah I know I am dangerous when I think haha) I am going to get Eric at 87gear rebuild it, or another shop if anyone has a suggestion.
David

Good choice. I think Eric will do you right.

Thats what Randy and my brother-in-law have said they are pretty darn good mechanics so I think I will go that route just was wondering if I might be able to go to a heaver duty trans .

I think the gearing is the differance you have 4.88s and I have 4.11s also the trans may be differant mine is a 5 speed what do you haveand I run a 31X10.5 but I have gotten that milage and better many times I usr Berrymans B12 chemtool in the gas at least every three tanks.

I have a 5 speed too. It has to be gearing. With the 4.88 at 70mph I am revving around 3000-3100 RPM. I think if I go with 35" tires I could bring those rpms down a bit to get better gas mileage or at least that would be my excuse when the time comes to get new tires.

I am with you there the 35's should make a differance with my 4:11's and 31's I am turning about 2200 rpms at 65-70 and my speedo is off 5 mph by the gps.

Well I got the drive shafts out yesterday and was worn out I am deturmined to get it out by myself it has been a long time since I was able to work on a vehicle. The kidney failure has really slowed me down goimg home now and going to pull the cross member and tcase. More to come.
