This robust gearbox was popular in Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees from 1988 to 1999, known for its durability and smooth shifting. Whether replacing a worn-out transmission or upgrading from the less capable AX5 (4-cylinder 5-speed) or older 4-speed transmissions, this AX15 transmission for sale at our store offers improved gear ratios and a stout Aisin Warner design that can handle the demands of both on-road driving and off-road adventures. This Jeep AX15 transmission for sale at our site is thoroughly inspected and ready to breathe new life into your Jeep project.
The Jeep AX15 transmission is a highly regarded manual gearbox used in Jeep vehicles from 1988 to 1999. Known for its durability and smooth shifting, the AX15 is a five-speed transmission featuring synchronized reverse gear (a notable feature for the era) and overdrive fifth gear (0.79:1), making it ideal for both on-road and off-road driving. Its robust Aisin Warner design and compatibility with various Jeep models, including the Wrangler YJ and TJ, Cherokee XJ, and Comanche MJ, make it a popular choice among Jeep enthusiasts. Because the AX15 is essentially the same fundamental transmission as the Toyota R150 (with a Jeep-specific bellhousing), it benefits from proven Aisin engineering and durability.
The Aisin-Warner AX15 is a medium-duty, 5-speed manual transmission that has earned a reputation for reliability and durability. Originally featured exclusively in Jeep models from 1988 to 1999, this AX15 transmission for sale today is a popular choice for Jeep owners looking to upgrade or replace their existing transmission. The AX15 fits factory bolt-in into Wrangler YJ, Wrangler TJ (through 1999), Cherokee XJ, and Comanche MJ, making it a far easier swap than alternatives that require custom adapters.
The AX15 transmission is compatible with the following Jeep models and engines:
Note on TJ Wrangler 2000+ models: The AX15 was replaced by the NV3550 in TJ Wranglers starting in model year 2000. If you have a TJ from 2000 to 2006, you need an NV3550, not an AX15. Earlier 1997-1999 TJ Wranglers use the AX15.
