4.0 to ax5

Can you put a AX5 behind a 4.0 HO?

Sure! Do you want to? Probably not...unless it's already there. Like if you swapped out a 2.5L for a 4.0L.

isn't the Ax5 for the 2.5? If you have the 4.0 get the AX15.

Yes completely different bellhousing. The ax5 uses the 2.5's gm bellhousing pattern, and the ax5 is a very weak tranny. Would be like going from a D60 to a D35. Would cost you more to adapt the ax5 to the 4.0 than a aw4 would cost you on craigslist..
