Tranny Conversion

[BLennon]

Hey Guys,

It looks like I may have the opportunity to get a good deal on a nsg 370 6 speed tranny from a 2005 Wrangler. I know very little so I'm looking for help... I have a '82 Scrambler with the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and T-176 . I'm never planning on doing any real off roading and would like a tranny with Overdrive . Is it possible to throw in the 6 speed. What else would I need? And could I get it off the TJ along with the tranny? Thanks a lot for any help. All this jeep will be doing is a little cruising every once and awhile.

Your best bet is to contact:

They don't show one listed but you never know what they have.

With the scrambler you should have the length needed but will it adapt to the engine and Transfer Case
is the question. I'd also hit up advanced adapters.

Do you know what gear ratio are in your rears? If you have 2.73 like alot of Scramblers out there you have better options for less money. Ive "heard" problems with shift forks but have no first hand info.

It should physically bolt up as the NP231 and Dana 300 are the same round pattern.And the 4.0 is the same as the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l as far as mounting.

Ive heard some bad thing about the 6speed but that was only in a more offroad vehicle.You should be fine.

What about the T-5 or AX15?They both have Overdrive and will be cheaper.Both are bolt-ins for the most part

Thanks for the help guys. I decided to pass it up. A T-5 or AX15 do sound better. I couldn't find much online at all about putting the 6 speed in a CJ. I think I was just tempted to have something unique in the CJ.
