Jeep CJ Parts

probably gonna throw it in after work tomorrow, we'll see what happens, whenever it decides to go, i hope it waits just a little bit before it does

...he has a Transmission ,
...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!

Someone must have swapped a ford V8 into a jeep with that tranny. There are a few Jeep trannys that people do that to. Here's an explanation of that mod: Installing Ford V8 Engines into the Jeep CJ, 1976-1979

The T-150 can be used against Ford bellhousings by using a special pilot bushing and by shortening the Transmission pilot tip by 5/8" and chamfering it. The same procedure would apply to the Jeep T-18

my gut still says walk away. gonna throw in my T-5 and just keep my eyes open for some things.

so ive had the old Transmission in for a week or so. seems ok which is weird because i got a Transmission to replace it for reason?? all of a sudden last night and today, i get on the hiway...get up to about 60 mph in 5th and it starts popping from the carb!! but on side roads i can floor this thing and it runs like a champ??? could some thing in the Transmission be causing this?? Any ideas?

...i can just put my T-5 in but will be fighting syncros going...

Oh, heck...just double-clutch. Synchros were designed for girls. At least you'll still be on the road until you can upgrade. (You could also replace the gear oil with 50-weight.)

ive been looking for an upgrade. I run nv3500 fluid cause i can get it from my parts dept. and its what the old part# supers. to...the carb pop seems tobe my issue now. like i said the weird part is i pulled this Transmission for a reason, and now it seems ok?

So finally found a 176 I maybe looking at..question what boot do you use for the Transmission . Since I've got the twin stick since last? Was gonna use the old tcase boot? and what would be the best tunnel cover.

Do you have access to the number tag? I got mine off of Craigslist and the guy advertised it as a T-176 out of his CJ7 . Turned out to be T177 which made me a lot happier. Heard of this happening to several others.

supposed to grab it sunday morning. all i have now are some cell pics. so we'll see..the 177 has a lower first gear??
