Any benefit of the 2005-06 six speed over the NV3550? If this has been talked about I didn't find it. I suppose another question would be, if I buy an 04, would I get any perks from putting the six speed in it instead?
I don't know why I had not remembered the AX-15. On TFL they were at a shop getting the trans in their Comanche looked at and the guy even told them the best path wasn't to rebuild but to switch to an AX-15.The optimal choice for manual transmissions is neither of those, it's an AX-15.
Take whichever one you get, but if you keep it long enough and the manual transmission needs to be replaced, the smart thing to do is replace it with an AX-15. They are tried and tested, easy to get brand new, easy to get parts for, and cheap (as far as transmissions are concerned).
AA sells brand new ones for $1500. For this reason most everyone who needs to replace their NSG370 or NV3550 replaces it with an AX-15.
4.46 | 2.61 | 1.72 | 1.25 | 1.00 | 0.84 |
4.01 | 2.33 | 1.39 | 1.00 | .78 |
I have this irrational fondness for driving great distances instead of taking a plane and renting a vehicle. My soon to be ex JL does this flawlessly, its 14 years newer. A TJ will be an X factor and a beast I'm still trying to learn about. I want to set it up for success. I want to still get into the back county, but still drive 1500 miles in one direction and back again. I have no doubt in my mind a TJ can still do these things.Does AA give you the option of changing the first gear ratio of 3.83 to something deeper? A retro fit of the 4.46 gear would be nice for the ax 15 or nv3550.
Why no love for the nv3550? lol. I have 150,000 miles on mine with the stock clutch and still shifts like new. In fact I'm only doing the clutch this summer as maintenance item since I'll be doing the SYE anyway. The problem is when people running the wrong fluids in it.
