Re: [AMC-list] time to find a stout 5 spd tranny now i think.

It is known the ax15 fits humpster bodies. Otherwise I'm not sure of its fit in other bodies. I'd expect it to be a good fit in all big bodies and 70's small bodies. Americans might be a problem. 
   iirc it as a 3.8 to 1st gear just a touch on the steep side but fine for 3:08 and 2;79 ratios. 
   Shifting is "notchy" not a race trans. I highly recommend Redline MTL in them! It took a while but it eliminated a rough 1-2 shift in my 97 COMPLETELY! Shifts better at 90K then it did at 53K when we bought it!  

YMMV

The AX-15 looks pretty good, and isn't it easier to find (for AMCs) than a
good T-5? Why aren't they used in passenger car projects?

10 x 1.125 input spline, 7.5" long, hell, I could fit that to a 258 or a
195.6. Output yokes and splines can always be dealt with.

The fat size of the case is a problem for the smaller cars, the issue I
think would be how much trans is "up", above the input-to-output shaft axis.
Hanging down is better than up through the floor.
