Hi
I want to know if the CJ7 came with 5 speed in the 6 cyl engine or only in the 4 cyl?
thanks

My CJ is a 5 speed with the 6 factory

From your “handle” I assume the CJ in question is a 1977 model year and no, the 1977 CJ did not come from the factory with a 5 speed regardless of engine size. The CJ factory 5 speed started in the 1982 with the T5.

The only 5 speed to go into a CJ from the factory was the T-5 . It came with the 4 and 6 cylinder engines from 1982 to 1986.
If you want to put an '82 Transmission onto a '77 strait six you would need the bellhousing and clutch linkage from the '82. Then you would need the Dana 300 Transfer Case that came with the T5. The driveshaft lengths would also need to be modified.
It would be a waste of time even if you got the parts for free. The T5 was amoung the worst transmissions to go into a CJ. Check out these links regarding the T5:
