i apologize if this was covered somewhere, i just did a basic quick search and didn't come up with anything. no i'm not a newbee to jeeps. i'm just by no means advanced. i can/will do anything on jeeps except for fabricating, and only cuz i don't have a welder yet. my friends only DD is down and i'm trying to get some info real quick to get him back on the road.
a friends transmission broke recently, and we are looking for a new transmission for his jeep. we are also considering the posibillity of a tranny swap.
he has an 01 TJ, 4.0L with the 5speed manual (not sure if AX5 OR NV3550).
well while shopping around, i noticed that for some reason the 5speed nv3550 for an 03 is almost $400 cheaper than the nv3550 for an 01.
we were also considering the posibillity of using a 6speed out of an 05 since it's about the same price as the 5speed.
so my question is if anybody knows if there is any difference in those transmissions that would prevent or complicate the swap???
