Default Did 2nd gen manual daks come with AX-15?

I'm wanting to do a manual trans swap for my 97' 4x4 Dak. Got a couple questions:

What types of manual transmissions came in 2nd gen rams and daks?

Will my t-case mate up?

Will I have to get a new wiring harness?

Had one in my '99 Dakota before the diesel swap.

So an AX-15 will bolt up to my 3.9? What about a NV3500 or NV4500?

The AX15 was in 99 and older 3.9 Dakota. The AX15, NV3500, and NV4500 will all bolt to any magnum engine.

Was the AX15 in the dakotas with the 2.5l? Will that bell housing match up with the 3.9?

The 2.5 has a different bell housing and I think some of those came with the AX5 transmission.

My 98 2.5 came with the AX-15 I think till 99 their is no separate bell housing for the AX-15 from 2000 to 2002 the 2.5 had the NV 1500.

The 2nd gen never used the AX-5
