Serial number checks
The serial number on an AX15 is the quickest way to confirm which parts belong in the gearbox. Find the number on the transmission tag and write it down before ordering. Parts sold for one serial range may not match a later unit, even when the gear positions look the same.
Because this ring is sold only for units before the set serial limit, do the check first rather than after a teardown. A shop can often read the serial without splitting the gearbox, which saves time if the part turns out not to match.
- Locate the serial on the transmission tag
- Compare it with the serial limit for this ring
- Keep a record of the serial for future work
