    Nv3500 vs ax15

    @dartslantsix and @75slant6 are/were running an Ax15. Dartslantsix had his for sale several months ago. Either way, they should both have some idea of how they work in a car. Also, the AX15 and R154 have the same bellhousing bolt pattern. As does the AR5/MA5. So you could start with an AX15...

    Nv3500 vs ax15

    My floor is rotten and I want a 5 speed. I know neither is gonna fit into my 64 dart but I'm ready to cut the tunnel out and make it fit. It's going a behind a 360 magnum but this is just a very stock street car so I'm sure I'll be fine. These two trannys are cheap and everywhere in old...

    I drive a dakota with an ax15 and really like it but I was worried about killing it with a 360

    I just picked up an AX15 and a v6 bellhousing for cheap. I am going to put it in my Duster. Car currently has an LA 318 in it. Anyone who has done this could you let me know what flywheel, clutch and starter I need?

    I've got an '88 Dak with a mild Magnum 5.9 and an AX-15; pounding on it for 3 years now and no issues.

    The ax15 is so plug and play is why I'm drawn to it and I like how it feels so the using it every day bias is there

    5 Speed swap

    I had an AX15 in my Barracuda. (Just pulled it this weekend and it's for sale) I have 3.83 gears and was running a Magnum 5.2L. First gear was pretty much a granny, so when racing I'd start in 2nd. There was a big jump between 2-3 and it felt like the car didn't pick up speed until 3rd. It...

    NV4500 swap.

    They also got the NV2500 and AX15 in some years- I've always thought those were Dakota-only, but I found a 2500 in one half ton and pulled a spare AX15 for my Dakota out of another... it seems like in some years they used whatever they could get the cheapest or was the most available (that...

    Yup. 20 year old me on a super small budget wasn’t gonna be able to afford a T56 swap, so AX15 it was… that’s been 9 years and 18,000 miles ago and she’s still doing GREAT behind my stock 5.9.

    Yeah I ain't taking the cross member for the stock tranny out with out replacing it with a cross member. If it fits I'll just leave it

    5 Speed swap

    There are a couple of guys running an AX15. I know @dartslantsix is one - David Belau @75slant6 is another. An R154/MA5/AR5 could be swapped into the same place and gives better ratios. And the MA5 survived Rocky Mountain Race Week in a C10 behind a 392.

    5 Speed swap

    Maybe it would be better to say that it sounds like the deeper final drive makes the transmission feel very truck like to you. Seems like @75slant6 ran a deeper final drive with his AX15 when he first did the swap and then dropped down to a 2.76 final drive.

    AX15 help

    If the AX15 is from a Dakota, the shifter will come up close to the torsion bar crossmember area in the transmission tunnel; not real close to the dashboard.

    Ax15 Trans

    Anyone ever consider using an AX15 in their A body? I've heard of it handling 400hp in Jeep LS swaps with ease assuming it's been taken care of. Seems like it could be an interesting 5 speed option..... Or maybe i'm just insane.

    5 Speed swap

    But you have driven an AX15 with a tall rear gear, which I for one have not. So you are far better equipped to actually speak to how it drives regardless of what you compare it to. Frankly, every trans has compromises. For example, a narrow ratio trans needs a deeper rear gear to make up for...

    5 Speed swap

    Correct, I ran 3.23 gears initially and 1st gear was worthless outside of taking off on a hill, after swapping to 2.76’s I shift it like any other 5 speed, aside from when I’m auto crossing, then I can run faster times if I start off in 2nd. Don’t spin as easily off the line and don’t need to...

    Plus an AX15 still has better splits than an A833OD. I also like that you can match it up with a rear gear that most people are throwing away or selling for cheap.

    5 Speed swap

    This is the exact master/slave cylinder setup I used in my ax15 swap. And like you said, the pushrod length wasn’t correct, so I cut out a section of the rod, threaded the ends of the cut rods and put it back together with a coupling nut to give me adjustability.

    Look in to the Toyota Supra R154 trans. Same family as the ax15 and can handle quite a bit of power.
