Hello Canada, from your southern neighbor. I just wanted to say hi and of course ask a question. I'm about to purchase a 88 yj which was manufactured in Canada. I am trying to determine which transmission it has, because the seller is not sure.

My research indicates that it either has a BA-10, or a AX-15, Novak Conversions website states that in mid year 88, they started putting the AX-15 into Jeeps. Stock Information from other websites state the BA-10 was used in Jeeps through 88, and the AX-15 did not start until 89.

So my question is, is there anyway to determine through the vin what tranny I have, or do I just need to wait and look at the tranny when I receive it? I have looked at vin decoders, and they just give me a generic description of the tranny.

I can't wait to get my Jeep, and thanks to anyone who replies.

Hi Jim,
it is my understanding that if you take your VIN to any dealer,
they should be able to print out a build sheet for you at no charge,
it will list all components and options on your truck,
as it left the factory.

Good luck...

Hi Billy,

Thanks for the info. I did try this, however the dealers and Corporate Jeep Canada are only able to go back 10 years. No worries, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Thanks again,

Jim

 

if tranny never been replaced it will be BA-10 not ax-15. BA-10 splits down the middle.
