Description

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RMTAX5J-1 is a remanufactured AX5 5-speed manual transmission specifically built for 1984-1986 Jeep CJ and Cherokee models. Zumbrota Drivetrain employs a stringent three-step quality control process. This begins with a pre-inspection of the core unit to identify and rectify any case cracks, excessive wear, or OEM-related problems. During the remanufacturing process, a second inspection ensures all component parts adhere to OEM standards. Finally, a post-build inspection confirms that the transmission is built to Zumbrota's strict quality standards. Every internal component, including gears and synchronizers, undergoes a 100% inspection, and the mainshaft is tested for straightness. To guarantee optimal performance and reliability, all remanufactured AX5 transmissions are dynometer tested, simulating numerous real-life driving scenarios before they are shipped. This commitment to quality ensures that the RMTAX5J-1 is ready to provide dependable performance for your Jeep. This specific transmission, identified by ID codes 5252224, 53001566, 53002265, 53003385 and Hollander numbers 400-02081A, 400-02081B, is designed for the AX5 transmission type and does not feature an integral bell housing.
