I have a 97 dakota that has the 4 cylinder engine in it with a manual transmission. I have an 3.9 liter engine out of an 00 dakota with an automatic transmission. Will this 3.9 liter engine bolt up to the transmission that the 4 cylinder engine was on or do i need to get another tranny to? thanks in advance for your help.

 

it doesn't say anything about dakota's so they may have a different trans but i think it has an ax-5 which wouldn't work because they are prone to failure even behind the 4 bangers http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/ax5.htm

 

the nv2500 is the manual behind the 2.5
i dont know that it wont bolt right up.....
but im not 100% sure that it will....
i'll had to find out and get back

 

ok any help will be appreciated, im not real familiar with dodges yet.

 

i know your the 2.5 master but you sure they used a nv2500 behind them? 4 post down on this page says they used the ax-15 behind the 2.5L http://forums.jpmagazine.com/70/7112...ing/index.html

 

o no, here we go again. its just like matj's issue where we couldn't figure out what transmission was for what motor and all that crap...

jsucci welcome to the forum!

 

HA, found it!
we're both wrong playmaker
dodge never used ax trannys..or the nv2500
its an AS82

you know how long it took me to find that crap?
ok, i'm gonna see if i can find anymore info or specs to back this info up

 

you know what the as82 sounds really familiar from when i was looking into what matj had on his truck... where did you find that?

 

god called down from the heavens and said
"you freaking moron you're looking in the wrong place"...


lol no, found it in spec sheets from allpar

its the only other tranny they put in the daks, and the only other ones were the nv3500 and the 42 and 44RE
i know the 3500 were in the v6s and the RE went into the v8s

 

yeah i thought i saw it on allpar... only thing is that i didn't see that information really confirmed nor denied on any other sites, therefore when we were talking about the V6's 5 speed i was quite confused...
