    93 AX-5 to a 95 or 96 AX-5 problem!

    Hey guys...maybe someone can help me out.

    93 Wrangler, 93 AX-5 went bad.

    Soo...I purchased a 95 or 96 AX-5 (not sure what year but I know that my '93 has an internal slave cylinder, the "new" tranny I installed has an external slave cylinder.

    I swapped my old bellhousing onto the new tranny as well as the front bearing retainer. The newer trans had a bearing retainer on it with a metal sleeve which covered half of the shaft (input or output, whatever one is on the engine side) so I couldn't use my internal slave cylinder.

    By swapping these retainers, I was able to convert this newer tranny to the old internal slave cylinder.

    Problem is, now the slave cylinder is whining like a baby, and I'm not sure if what I did is the reason for the noise. It shifts perfect, and this slave cylinder made NO noise in the old transmission.

    Makes me think I need to put the originall bellhousing/external slave cylinder back on? Please help!!!

    Welcome to the Z.

    Did you clip the internal slave in place on the metal dowel? Did you install a new internal slave with the plastic bands intact?

    I did the same swap on my old jeep and it didn't make any noises

    Yes, I secured the slave to the metal dowel...no, it wasn't a new slave with the plastic bands still secured, it was the "old" (1 year old) slave cylinder from the original tranny. Maybe it's not bled thoroughly and the slave is airbound?

    It's odd...seemed like a pretty straightforward swap to me. That's my luck, though.

    Yeah it was a straightforward swap. You need to pull it back apart to find out the source of that noise because noises usually mean something is being torn up.
