[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 439182, member: 21038"] So finally found an AX5 locally that someone didn't want 800 for a core that needed a rebuild. It's out of a totaled 2001 TJ with lowish miles. I currently drive my 95 YJ as a 4 speed becuase when in 5th it sounds like a cyclical grinding noise is occurring every 3 seconds or so (depending on speed) that almost sounds like 5th is slipping, but I lose no power when the noise happens. Currently I'm tempted to replace the end seals and run it. But figured I would ask those who know the AX5 better if the issues with 5 gear were ever addressed in later models or if I need to pull the rear of the trans off and do any 5th gear fixes while I have it on the workbench? And if so, what are the fixes? A replacement snap ring right? Thanks for any advice. [ATTACH=full]121718[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
