I daily drive a 02 2.5l wrangler with a ax5 trans. The engine and trans are good but the rear Dana 35 just grinds and pops and just lacks power. So to remedy the issues I've gotten a 1.9l alh and ax15 adapter plates and a fast forward wire harness.
I also got a donor 1997 4.0 TJ sport to scavenge the ax15 trans and both front and rear axles(Dana 30 and 35). I plan to rebuild each axle in time but I think this is cheaper than regearing and bearing change in my current daily Tj. I also want to add A/C to the build. Any tips or advice with this engine swap is much appreciated as this is my first jeep engine swap.
