just got a 78 cj5 and am looking for a transmission. any
help would be appreciated.....it needs work, but it's mine.
seems parts are hard to come by. any help/advice is
welcome. thanks all.
Do you know what engine, transmission, and transfer case it
has now?
Are you looking to replace it or upgrade?
There are some very smart Jeep folks in southern Indiana...
check around... find a club in the area... there are a lot
of motorheads there.
Good luck with your CJ5...83 CJ7, 4.1L 6cyl (4.0L bored .030 over), 35" tires, 5 speed, dana 300 TC, Trussed AMC 20. Complete body rehab and linex. Phase I: frame off restore complete.
thank you. as far as i know, it's all stock.
inline six with a single barrel carb. t150 trans? i have
the transmission and transfer case out right now. lost
reverse, first and second gear. gears were pretty chewed up
inside. looking for a replacement transmission. came with
the stock 3 speed. might end up just replacing broken
gears. got the feelers out with some local folks checkin
part bins in garages. need to fix fast, it's my daily
driver....lol. luckily, brother in law and his buddies are
jeepaholics. they're in the middle of a rock crawler
project right now. this is my second 78 cj5. gonna fix the
basics first, and then move on to restoration and upgrades.
it currently has a 3" body lift, skyjacker shocks, and
rolling on 33's. a little rough, but i love it. again,
thank you.
