Synchros for AX5
« on: Mar 10, 2017, 08:42:31 AM »
Hello,

I have Jeep Cherokee with a Toyota 2L diesel adapted to a Jeep AX-5
manual transmission I got from a junkyard Jeep here in Africa.  Not very
fast but it is still going (the conversion was made in 2009).

Recently it began to be difficult to shift down to first gear.  Now the vehicle
has to be nearly at a stop.  Would this be the synchro between first and
second gear?    Can I replace the Jeep's brass synchro with a Toyota one? 
Would I need the synchro sleeve and spring, etc or would replacing the synchro
gear be enough?   If so, can someone point me to a source for quality parts?

Moderator, please move this thread to another forum if you see fit.

All of the internals of your ax-5 are the same as the guts of a Toyota G-52. Marlin sells a minor rebuild kit that includes gaskets, bearings and synchro. I'm not sure what shipping to Africa would be though.

Thanks for the information.  I'll look into it next week.
