T15 bellhousing ?

[ga78cj5]

Just bought a T-15 Transmission and it didn't come with a bellhousing. Is there another bellhousing that will work on the t15?
Thanks

If you dont get your answer, I can compare a couple for you, Im about 99% sure I parted an early cj two years ago, and IIRC, that bellhousing fits 71-75 CJ only (also 76-79 FSJ), so any jeep bellhousing from 71-75 CJ should work. If you have the bellhousing for your T-150 , its not supposed to fit T-15 . If no one chimes in differently, I can go looking for the T15 bellhousing and compare it to a T150 to see if the difference is obvious or not.

I had a T-15 in my '81 CJ5 hooked up behind a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . Late 70's and early 80's used a Ford bellhousing. I had no problems hooking up a T-18 to the same bellhousing. If no one has a definitive answer for you, I am sure a 4 Wheel Parts shop would look it up for your application.

The input shaft is longer on the T-15 and it has me thinking the bellhousing is deeper than my T-150 bell....also I read somewhere that the clutch fork is different on the t150?

I looked it up on the hollander interchange, and it shows they do NOT interchange. And in constrast to that, I also looked it up in the 74-80 AMC/Jeep parts catalog, and it shows all jeeps cj and FSJ's from 74-80 interchange except for the 4 cylinder. 321-3744 is the part number for reference. Im not sure where the bell housing for the T-15 is but will look when I head back over to the farm. Ive seen it in the last 6 months,... its here somewhere !

Oh, and the clutch forks change number after 74, and is not re-used, so it would appear they are different without looking at them. There are also several part numbers after 74.

I got in contact with the guy I bought the T-15 from and he is gonna give me the bellhousing that came off of it since my T-150 bell won't work. I pick it up Wednesday and should be wheelin by the weekend!!

Super, just for grins, how about updating this post, so we know collectively if they are the same or different ?

Thanks, BK.

I got the T-15 pretty cheap and am eventually putting a T-18 4 speed in probably June or July. As you pointed out, I can use the t15 bell if I get a t18 without a bellhousing.

Just discovered I have a T-15 and need bell housing. If I am reading right the T-18 fit, are there any others. Seems like a difficult part to find used.
