T90 Problems - Diagnosis??

I will "dig into" the T-18 over the weekend. The model, as noted on the side of the case, reads "T-18 1B".

The case also has the bump-out on the drivers side for the larger gear, I think.

I think that I am going to flat-tow the jeep to the car wash and sparkle it up. Then I am planning on taking the entire body off and then working on it. When I re-wired the jeep in the spring, I made sure that there is very few wire that need to be disconnected from the engine / fenders. I ran everything in loomes and is very neat looking.... the hard work of the earlier re-wiring is definately going to pay off over the weekend when removing the tub.

Question: I now have a firewall mounted brake master and booster. Is it better to remove the brake lines from the master and then pull the rest of the brake unit with the body, or remove the master with the lines attached / disconnect the master from the booster. That way everything with the brake system will remain "clean" and closed up??

 

I am wrong.. The T-18 definately came out of my first CJ-5. It was out of my '76 CJ5 with a 258 I6. (I am already starting to forget what part came out of which jeep

Anyway's, there is a 1" adapter plate between the bellhousing and the tranny, I'm hoping to reuse that adapter plate (template at least). I would say that the bellhousing thats on the T-18 now is a little longer than the 198's, the input shaft nipple sticks out about 3/4", and, of course the 1" adapter plate. All in all, I would say that the input shaft is about 9.5" - 10" long.

Without sounding... well... ummm... is that the same length as your shaft??

 

Thank's Lynn.. I'll take some pics tonight.

 

According to the '76 Jeep brochure, posted elsewhere here, the '76 T-18 in a CJ should be a close ratio model, and only available with the 258. IIRC the close ratio transmission used the T-15 bell and an adapter plate. In '77, Jeep officially started offering the wide ratio T-18 in CJs, and it was optional with the 304 I presume. I have not seen one of them but according to Novak, the wide ratio CJ transmission has no adapter plate.

 

Hummm.. I think that I will be pulling the top cover tonight and count the teeth. I need to be sure of what I have before I start thinking of this too much.

Will get teeth count and pics tonight, and post tomorrow.... Thank's guy's

 

Took the shifter plate off and took some pics..

When I have the x-fer case in low range, I can rotate the input shaft 8.25 revolutions to 1 rev on the output of the x-fer case..

 

Sounds like 4:1 to me. The D20 is roughly 2:1.

4.02*2.03 = 8.16 ... pretty close.

 

Your right.. I'm looking at the novak site..

There is a tag on the T-18 (13.01-023)

I believe that it is a ford version.
