Manual Transmission in a Grand Cherokee?!? ZJ Manual Swap Pt1

In this video, we begin the process of swapping an AX-15 5 speed manual transmission into a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ! After experiencing weird shifting and transmission trouble codes with the 42RE automatic, we decided to just throw that out and go with something different. It should be a fun project, and it will be interesting to see how the manual performs off-road! ZJ torque specs: https://www.jeepforum.com/threads/zj-...
