That is a similar question I would have for the AX5. I am not sure how strong it is even compared to a 4 speed found in the 240. It is known that the 4 speed will handle the power/torque of a 617. I have yet to find a 2WD AX15 (not saying they don't exist, but may be as rare as the Tbird trans), so the AX5 may be the only 2WD Jeep trans that will work.
