WoodsWagon Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So where does the AX-15 out of jeeps fall into the mix with the bellhousing adapter? It's the same transmission as a r150, just a different input shaft on it, right? Finding a transmission for a jeep cherokee in a junkyard, sorry, "automotive recycler", would be a lot easier than finding one out of a toyota.

roostema4328 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 if it really is the same as you say. which I dont know that for sure. lol you would then just need a different clutch disc. get one for a jeep instead of a toyota as long as the disc diameter is the same. find a pilot bearing that fits the trans and the subaru. and then use the subaru pressure plate and all the other things said in this thread.

bill hincher Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I would be glad to help anyone on the AX 15 trans adapter but I dont see the advantage Just go down and buy one and ship it to me, it may take a couple months the input shaft is 2 inch longer then the R 150 and the throw out bearing collar is longer, but in the end all the engineers are doing is locating the shifter back for the Jeep aplication Its the same R sereis trans built by Asian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow65 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey bill what's up with your shifter relocater? Are the done or are you still messing around with them? Would I need to give you a "I need it moved this much" figure? Or how does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill hincher Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 this is the remote shifter, the first thing I did was replace the shifer loop extension with an R 154 internal set up then I located and mounted the second peice from the R 154 shifter and located the shift rail then I started building the body of the remote shifter I could have done this a lot of different ways but it had to be very universal because it will fit a variaty of aplications and it had to work just as well as a 5 inch extension to a 2 foot extension I will probably spend just as much time building the tooling to machine this part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to fit it to use a cable shifter. I started looking into using a Subaru transmission in a mid-engine/rear-drive application, and found a number of people that adapted cable-shifter setups without too much difficulty, which gives you just about infinite flexibility as long as you have cables long enough.

bill hincher Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 even if you wanted a cable set up, you would need this part, you need the remote shift rail to get your cables hooked to, so you still need the box on top of the trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think the remote shifter will make all the difference for most of us. That's the biggest stumbling block left for a Subaru application. Thanks for the pics Bill. I see myself ordering both the BH and the remote shifter systems from you when both are ready.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that looks a bit different than the shifter on the W56 that came out of my '86 4runner..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that looks a bit different than the shifter on the W56 that came out of my '86 4runner..... I dont quite understand what your asking but it is compatible with a shifter from the Mitsubishi Eclipse in either cable or solid shaft design there is no restriction on length or positioning, the only real downside is the higth of the remote shifter box, I will be building it as low as I can but its still too tall for me, I didnt want to require too much sheet metal to be removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been awhile since I had the shifter off my W56 transmission, but I didn't think it looks like this: mellow65....that looks awesome! Should be sweet.

It looks like it was made for that engine bay YES WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I have been saying it for awhile that this thing fits quite well in the engine bay. The key was the early 2.2 heads, they were small enough to clear the steering and not need to do major surgery on the frame rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be sweet. you are used to seeing the shifter loop ( I call it) in the shifter housing, yes, that is a W series transmission with an R 154 shifter collar taking place of the original W series loop, its just a collection of Toyota parts that are crossed over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
