AX-15 compatibility
Pretty soon I'll be pulling the AX15 out of my gf's 97 TJ. Synchro's and/or shift forks are toast. Now I have a spare AX-15 from a 1999 Cherokee. Can I just swap that one in directly?
I thought I read somewhere that the t-cases were clocked differently on a TJ vs. an XJ. Is that true? if so will that mean anything if I re-use the TJ's NP231? Thanks!

yes they are clocked differently and the difference is the bolt pattern on the back of the tranny.
you MUST redrill! look at the back, and you can see what ya gotta do, the boss is there for 2 holes and only one side is drilled, just drill the other side.  make sense?

Yes I think so. Have to have a good look once the t-case is off.

in 95 they changed the pilot bearing size ... but both you have are newer so thats a non-issue. just keep in mind if you start looking else where.

Hmmm, just wondering what would happen if I didn't re-drill and the t-case would be clocked lower. Would it affect anything?
