Title: Bolt on retainer collar for fifth gear on a AX5 transmission.
Post by: canfourjeep on October 14, 2008, 09:46:49 AM

Does anyone in Canada have a collar that holds fifth gear on an ax5.  I found Consolidated Transmission has one style but they only ship UPS ground and there is always a 35 dollar brokerage fee.  I spoke with the Chrysler dealers in Saskatoon and both said they never sold a snap ring for the AX5.
It would be ordered from the states.  Any Ideas?

Have the dealer order it from the states . I've odered lots of dealer sourced parts that had to come out of the states , it usually takes a week or less.

These snap rings are known to pop  out of their groove , also , an overhaul kit  ( not a dealer item ) should contain that ring , be advised these snap rings are selectable thickness , as in  , the correct ring will set the end play of fifth gear , the dealer partsman will ask you which snap ring you need , there are a variety of thicknesses available
