Description

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RMTAX15J-2 is a remanufactured AX15 manual transmission specifically designed for Jeep Cherokee models from 1987 to 1991, equipped with the 6-cylinder engine and 4WD. This 5-speed transmission undergoes a rigorous three-step inspection process to ensure the highest quality standards. The initial step involves a pre-inspection to identify case cracks, excessive wear, and OEM-specific problems. The second step focuses on measuring component parts to guarantee they meet OEM specifications. Finally, a third inspection ensures each unit is built to Zumbrota Drivetrain's exacting quality standards. Internal components, including gear wear and synchronizers, are extensively tested, and shaft straightness is verified. To ensure optimal performance, all Zumbrota Drivetrain manual transmissions are dyno-tested. This testing confirms proper operation, smooth shiftability, and acceptable noise levels under various real-life scenarios. The remanufacturing process includes an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure for internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning, setting a benchmark for remanufactured manual transmissions. Key specifications for this transmission include an AX15 type, front and rear cases with an aluminum center plate, a 0.59-inch pilot tip diameter, and an internal slave cylinder. Its OEM part ID is 53005385, and the Hollander number is 400-02335.
