And for the 5.2 I can use the ax 15 I just need to change the belhousing from a Dakota. .


when you find one let me know. i've been looking for a 5spd out of a dakota for 2 years now.  they are RARE to find. probably because its a good tranny and good motor combo ;)

i gave up on ebay a while ago because they won't ship to canada half the time.
same with this on; they won't ship to Canada :( i've been looking (not very hard) on kijiji and waiting for them to be parted out.  mostly i'm lazy haha

You best bet would be to measure a TJ that has a 4L from the factory. 

As for the wiring harness, I know it can be done as that is what was done when I swapped in a 4L to my YJ. However, I had National 4wd do the swap for me
