Subject has been beat to death I'm sure but...
My 97 TJ has 190K and it's time for a new trans. Over the years I've put a 3" lift, 35" tires and upgraded to 4.56 gearing. I use the TJ for big road trips to camp and race my mountain bike. Due to locations, there's a LOT of highway driving and I hate hitting 3200+ RPM to run 70 at best. Thinking an AX-15 (5sp) would certainly help with that issue and still provide light, infrequent off road use.
I certainly won't do the swap myself but was wondering if anyone has done the same and the approximate cost and things to look out for!
Thanks in advance for input (and not flaming me for altering the factory, perfect 3sp auto....)
