[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 427847, member: 18789"] It’s definitely an AX5. Sad he doesn’t know it’s an AX5 based off of the fact it came from a 4cyl. The AX15 can be adapted to 4cyl but is a lot of extra work and not typical. So I guess he didn’t know what he had. The bell housing can’t be swapped and as said earlier, the AX5 itself is not a strong transmission. It wouldn’t last under that power even if there was a way to adapt it, which there is not. Yes, AX15 uses an aluminum central plate and AX5 uses cast iron I believe. So the magnet trick works. Identifying them in pictures is a lot more difficult though without the bell housing attached. Hard to tell without looking at the drain and fill plugs and you can’t always see them at pics since the drains are way down low. [/QUOTE]
