Hi everyone
I'm a new guy. i don't have a Jeep, but I've got a Jeep transmission that I need some help with. I have a Jeep T-176 aluminum 4 speed transmission case that I'm attempting to fill with Ford (late 60's) toploader gears. Virtually everything fits fine, but because the Jeep case is aluminum, the shaft supports are longer than those in the cast iron Ford case. This means that the Ford reverse idler is too long for the Jeep case. I can have the idler reduced in length or buy the correct gear if I can find one. That's really the question. Where do you guys look for new/used parts for older Jeeps? I'm told that this transmission was used in CJ7's up to about 1985.
Appreciate any assistance you might be able to give me
Regards
Jim
