Swapping a T18 for a T15?

[CJ]

The twin stick kit for the spicer 20 Transfer Case showed up today. UPS just dropped it of (man they are running late - 8:35 pm). Now I can start piecing together a few more bits and get this swap on the road!

This is still going on. I decided to do a complete frame off though. You can follow along in this thread -->> https://jeep-cj.com/community/threads/cjs-cj5-rebuild-thread.32889/

CJ doesn't know it yet, but I bribed his helper with jelly beans I told him were anti-std pills to steal all the bolts for his Transmission . I figure I can get his motor for a gift certificate to a dirty massage parlor.

That would be funny if it wasn't true!

hey CJ read a little tidbit today about the T-18 tranny using a different torque bracket than the T-150 . Have you seen that in your research yet?

 

[CJ]

I don't remember anything about that but I haven't paid much attention to T-150 threads, sorry... But I will keep my eyes open now...

A comparison shot of the size difference between a T-18 and a T-15 .

Picked up a T-18 to replace the T-15 in in my '81 CJ5 . Do you know if the input shafts are interchangeable? The T-18 is out of '76 J20 pickup with a V8 and has an extra long input shaft. It's already mated to a Dana 20 which I have now. Looking for the easy way out I guess, knowing there really never is one.
