PAssing this on to those interested PRESS RELEASE NV3550 replacing AX5 in 4 cyl wranglers The 5 speed trans that Jeep supplies with the 2.5L 4cyl engine (1987- up, Wrangler, Cherokee) is known as the AX5. It is the little brother of the AX15 5 speed, used successfully in 4.0L Jeeps 1989-1999. It holds up pretty well behind the anemic 2.5L engine, as long as you drive mellow. The problem is, pretty much everyone with one of these Jeeps is driving it like Mario Andretti off every stop light just to keep up with the traffic. And the AX5 tends to get torn up on a regular basis. (For those of you who don't remember Mario Andretti, he was a big time winning Indy car driver back in the 60's). The light weight of the 2.5L makes it well worth keeping in a trail/rock rig. But after your AX5 has died for the third time you might consider swapping an NV3550. This box is conservatively rated at over 300 ft lbs, and will hold a moderate V8 comfortably. That means it probably won't be having too much trouble with your 2.5L, even if you beat the crap out of it. Other NV3550 conversion systems available as well.
