I just successfully changed out my engine and Transmission from a 4 cylinder with a T-4 to an in-line 6 with a T-176 . Now I'm having trouble with the Transmission skid plate not lining up with any of the holes on the frame and Transmission at the same time. I want to know: am I supposed to have a different skid plate or is it just a puzzle i have to solve?
the T-4 crossmember. I bought the T-176 from a guy and I didn't think to ask about what he had on his jeep. Are they 2 different pieces? I've done some searching and its still 50/50. some people say they're 2 completely different pieces and some say its the same and that you just have to look at it a different way.
If I am understanding the issue correctly, when i look on Novak's page, it appears the T-176 is 2.35" shorter overall than the T-4 with the rear housing... But the I6 his longer than the old 4 cyl (I'm assuming), but not by an equal amount, so I would "assume" the mount would need relocation from original holes...
but i may have missed the entire point of the post not very "alert" today.
