transmission options for V6

If the '69 V6 came with the T14, will a T-90 bolt in place or what transmission is a better one to put behind it without modification?

SM420 goes on unless you've got the '70-'71 one-piece bellhousing. Use a Novak adapter to mate it to the Spicer 18. SM420 input is 1-1/8, 10-spline. I forget what the T-14 is. You'll at least need a new cutch disc as well.

 

V6 t14 (1 1/8"-10 spline) clutch will work fine with the sm420.

 

There ya go.

 

Come on, Patrick. We all know NOTHING goes in without modification!!! R)

It's got that wierd 1-3/16x10-spline output shaft. I can't think of a tranny other than another T14 that would just bolt in.

Here's some light reading if looking for a replacement. Input shaft length and pilot tip would be main differences in the T-14: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/t14.htm

 

I thought the 4 sp option in 69 was a t98. never heard of a factory V6 CJ with a T18, but then I never heard of alot of things

 

Don't forget the T-case input gear and input shaft. T-18s are 6-spline, not 10-spline like the T-14. Lotsa work for a "bolt-in".

 

Just to clarify, AFAIK the T18 was available with the V6 only in 1971. It's the same close ratio (4.02:1 1st) T18 that was offered with the inline 6s in CJ5s and CJ7s in '72-76. The T-98 was available with the F134, from when I don't know through 1971. Patrick's T18 was swapped in, IIRC, from a 1971 donor. Not a lot of the V6/T18 combo Jeeps were built, so it's not surprising that most ECJ5ers would not have heard of them.

 

I seem to recall some guy who had a factory T-18 in his 1968 CJ-5.
The Jeep was a factory Ottowa backhoe conversion.

 

Yep probably had a :hurrican:

 

I vote t-15. Narry a problem once I got rid of the 71 cast aluminum bellhousing.

 

My brother got a brand new close ratio T-18 and all the factory adapters from a Jeep dealer for his 68 V-6 CJ-5. This was in Corvallis, OR in the early 70's
