1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"I will never drive anything again, unless its another Jeep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AX-15 transmission went out at 63,000 miles.
Spider gears went out at 75,000 miles.
Entire rear end went out at 82,000 miles.
Power steering gear box went out at 65,000 miles.
Radiator leaks from the top.
Throttle Position Sensor fried.
Crankshaft Position Sensor went out.
General comments?
It seems to be that if one thing isn't wrong, then something else is.
Great off-road capability, just a suspension lift is all that is really required.
The NV-4500 is a great transmission to replace the AX-15 with, it is very heavy duty and extremely reliable.
