March 2010 Your Jeep
Cliff Notes
The Project: I have a '83 CJ7 and a '00 Explorer 5.0L V-8 that want to be together. I found a very pretty NP435 Ford four-speed on Ebay for $50. I believe I can overcome the technical obstacles to the swap, but I'm having second thoughts about the Transmission . I know people love the old granny tranny off-road, but I'm hearing it shifts like a dump truck on the street with long, heavy throws. First gear is useful only for pulling stumps, the ratios are too wide, not to mention the Rat-Fink shifter.inline_mediumwraptextright27842731/techarticles/154_1003_jeep_4x4_tech_help154_1003_01+jeep_4x4_tech_help+yj_cj.jpgTrue
