Hop under her & clip a pic. If its a 4.0 its a ax15 or pukegoat....I say start looking for a ax15 instantly! The puegeot is know to be a piece of garbage even when babied & they always leak...damn clam shell design.

I bought my 88...puegeot puked its guts 24 hours later litterally...PO probably knew but I'm happy with my ax15 now

The PO got 145k out of the first BA-10/5.. I've gotten 125k out of this one and I'm still not having any sort of shifting issues with it. It really is about how they are/were cared for.

Sure... and a Dana 35 only "may" break.... personally, Whenever possible, I like to remove any potential weak links in my Jeeps if I have to pull the part anyway. Just my 2 centavoes.

Thats it in itself...145k? My 96 with a ax15/4.0...is at 452k original besides the clutch itself..no issues. The Puegeot is a light duty trans and should have never been behind the 4.0L. Its just not robust enough! Which is why when my puegeot blew I payed 1300 for my ax15 straight from the dealer!

Search for a 94 and up AX15 if you do decide to swap...The earlier models have the internal slave cyl, The newer models have an external.

Will take a pic when I get in from work....thanks guys

Sounds like no matter what is there...buy an ax 15 anyway

The cooler swap would be an NSG 6speed with a RocTrac t-case from a Rubicon. Since you'll be in the junkyard anyway....
