Transmission

Is it correct for a 1981 CJ7 straight 6 engine.
Needs work. For sale locally.
What is worth?
Thanks
“T-4 Transmission out of 1984 Jeep CJ7 . Reverse gear is bad and synchross in third going bad. Needs rebuild. “

I believe AMC started putting the T-4 and 5 in the CJs starting in 80. These are a lightweight car Transmission and not the best Transmission for a jeep. I wouldn't waste my money on one. I would look for a more robust Transmission .

Agreed.

The Novak site has some really good info on drivelines for your CJ.

That looks like a T-176 to me.

Check out that Novak site...it'll look like a T-176 to you too!

Better than the T-4 ?

Yes, was an option during those years. If your looking to upgrade that's a good choice. As cglax6 mentioned check Novak Conversions they are a wealth of knowledge on jeeps.

Glad to hear I don’t have the T-4
What do these #’s represent? Is there a date base to see?

Not a T-176 after all

Details, details!

Slightly better first gear than the T-176 . Definitely a keeper if it's in good shape.

I'll take my T-18 over anything else, though!
