AX5 Bearing Kit

The USA Standard Gear Bearing Kit is engineered to restore smooth operation and reliability to AX5 manual transmissions found in 1987–2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ models. This all-in-one kit includes synchros and all the critical components needed to refresh worn or failing bearings, making it an ideal solution for transmission overhauls and drivetrain rebuilds. It addresses issues such as grinding, noise, or shifting problems that can develop over time.

Designed as a direct replacement, this bearing kit aligns with factory transmission components and mounting points for straightforward installation using standard mechanical procedures. However, due to the complexity involved in full transmission service, professional installation is recommended for optimal results. The kit comes complete with synchros and all necessary hardware for a convenient, comprehensive transmission service. This USA Standard Gear Bearing Kit is specifically designed to fit 1987–2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ models equipped with the AX5 manual transmission.
