    I'm having a terrible time finding parts for my T15 transmission. It sits behind an AMC 360. What transmission can I find to replace with that will handle this 360 and easily find parts for. I'm assuming whatever I get , I will have to change bell housing and drive shaft. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

    Herm will sell you a rebuilt one or rebuild yours. All the parts are still readily available. T15 is about the best 3 speed Jeep ever made.

    Unless you go to a truck 4-speed, there's really nowhere to go but down from the T-15. It's strong for a 3-speed - it was used in the Jeep pickups and wagons as the standard transmission with the 360, and it held up fine. You've reached the top of the evolutionary tree for the Jeep 3-speeds.

    I agree, if it is broken, donate it's remains to a fellow Jeeper and go to a 4 speed truck trans, Saginaw car 4 speed, or an Ax15. Better first, especially in the truck trans.
