Yes putting in another T-5 would be the cheapest, easiest route. But I wouldn't want to put in another T-5 . This one says it's used. Not rebuilt. For that reason I say $350 is a high price. Not worth putting into a CJ when it mayHey, I just came across this... It my be the cheapest option for you. Jeep CJ T5 Transmission 5 Speed CJ 7 CJ 5 80 86 | eBay
tks again dave, so the 2.5l is probably misprint or wrong all together...And it can be a CJ7 or 5? great..gonna keep searching
Chevrolet & GM Engine Conversions into the 1980-1986 Jeep CJA factory option available with the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6 was the Tremec T176 Transmission, rated as medium-duty.
You will need to drill and tap 4 holes in the belhousing to mount your T-176 . I did this to install a ford T-18 and it's not hard. I'm pretty sure its the same with your swap: the input shaft and bearing mounting of the T-176 will fit into the hole of the bellhousing. There wasn't any free play for me and I think you will find it a tight fit too. It will be obvious where to drill and tap the 4 holes.
so i gotta drill new holes in the skid for the mount? what about clutch and such is this all interchangable?
tks
Lastly you will need to have both drive shafts modified for length. Measure carefully with the suspension fully compressed and fully extended. Since you can't drive your CJ to compress suspension this may take a bit of guesswork.

so i get a return phone call....he has a Transmission , will give me a bell housing, it has the adapter, but someone cut the input shaft off....just the tip that goes into the pilot bushing? WTF! who does that.? toss up? do i do it and put in a input shaft? keep looking? dont think it good the way it is?? makes no sense!
looks like i may start looking at the T-18 route?
may just be crossing the old fingers and putting the other T-5 in!!!
