T18 vs T19

[RubberDuck]

So I have a T-15 right now on my CJ7 /AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l with a 2.99:1 1st, horrible crawling, even though it's a tough tranny. I have an opportunity to buy a T19 with a bellhousing, clutch hardware and Dana 20 all hooked up. Was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago professionally by a local shop. It's already had the short input shaft put in. Guy's asking $500 for everything. First off, is the only difference between the T-18 and T19 synchronized granny gear? Second, is this a fair price?

Thanks

$500 sounds good to me. The dif. between a T-18 & T19 are (as you stated) the T19 is syncroed in all gears as well as having all gears helical cut.

Like the T-18 there are versions of the T19 out there that do not have the "granny" 6.32:1 first gear. The others are less desirable from what I have seen

There are different versions of both transmissions, which meant different first gear ratios. The only one I am sure about is the Ford version which was the 6:32. Reading the link that CJ posted does confirm this.

Per that link Ford had three different T19 1st gear ratios from 4.02:1 to 6.32:1. I know of at least on person burnt on a Ford T19 with the 4.02 first. I have also seen IH version with the 4.02

Cool thanks. I know this one has the 6.32:1 Granny. Think I may pick it up for my project CJ7 . The 2.99:1 is just not getting it done.
