What year transmission will fit a 1997 jeep wrangler 2.5?

A 1997 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L typically came with an AX-15 5-speed manual transmission. Therefore, another AX-15 from a similar year Jeep Wrangler (or other vehicle that used that transmission) is your best bet for a direct bolt-in replacement.

You'll need to be careful to match the bellhousing pattern (the part that bolts to the engine). While AX-15s were used in other vehicles, the bellhousing may differ, requiring an adapter or making it incompatible. Sticking with an AX-15 from a similar-year Jeep Wrangler will guarantee compatibility.

Before purchasing a used transmission, verify the transmission's condition. A used transmission in poor condition can lead to more problems than it solves.
