Hey Lance, I am rebuilding a 1981 CJ7 , it had a T-4 in it that I am swapping out for a T-176 . I had trouble finding one, but was able to get a reman at Midwest Transmission Center. They didn't have it listed on their website, but I called them and they were able to do it for me. Wasn't cheap though.

Why not rebuild the one you've got? Most Transmission places will require your Transmission . as a core. If purchased on line you will have to ship your Transmission to the. Consider that in your purchase price.

It's a pretty easy rebuild. It was my first try at rebuilding a Transmission . The Dana 300 was more of a challenge than the T177.

Rebuilding it is not an option, as I said in my first post, IT WAS FILLED WITH WATER....IE: RUSTED SOLID.
I need another one.,
Thanks

Being filled with water isn't always a deal breaker. Many have been saved from this....
Totally different story. Had that been in the original post I doubt the rebuild suggestions would have been offered. I'd say at this point you may still have a viable case but that's about it. Even that may be worth cleaning up and selling....

I'm not disputing your assertion that the Transmission is ruined. I did read your first post.
An interesting comment:
Often the parts actually under water are not badly rusted, it's the parts above the water/oil line that rust the most. My T-18a had water in it and this was exactly the case with it. A couple top gears were pitted and the bottom gears were perfect.

Unfortunately he'll probably need it to cover a core charge.
