? T90 colum shift coversion to floor ?

How can I tell if the the T90 trans in my 64 Tuxedo Park has been converted to floor shift or has been swopped out?The drivers side is as-T90A-1,W with a ring around it,Q 8 and a bolt on tag with the numbers 5-22.There is two bolts in the side that look like possible plugs.

 

Are those plug side-bolts on raised areas?

Another clue is to examine the exact area where the dashboard meets the steering column. If your jeep ever had a column shift, you'd notice a raised "notch" directly above (12 o'clock) the column where linkage would pass thru. The alternative would be a round, half-moon form-fit over the column that makes it look like the dash & column were made to fit together.


Got a digicam yet Mark?










How 'bout now?

:stout:

 

No cam yet but I do Have the original colum dash (I think).It has the raised notch and it is 3''1/2.I also still have a prong on the steering colum.I have no real doubt that this is not the Jeep for my title.

 

Attached is a pic of the column-shift with the dash "notch", but from 2 diffo hosting sites. My gut tells me that the first one will show as a "Red-X". But I'm doing a test......both pics show up for me, but might not for anyone else. Would a kind soul out there report if/which of the pics appear, and which appear as a Red-X (if at all)? Thanks!!

 

Yes raised areas.

 

You can make a side shift tranny to work top shift so check the drivers side of the tranny. If you need the parts to convert back my buddy has the shift assembly w/o the handle and he may have the tranny too, Bill

 

First I'll have find out some details.My 64 came with the F 134 and was swopped out with the 64 225 Buick Special.Will the side shift work with the V6?I still can't tell if I have the original side shift T90.All I know for sure is they look way cooler and orignal is always better in my book.

 

Sure does apear to have been a side shift.Any parts I can use will be greatly needed!!!!Can/will the working parts from a 46-47 work?I believe they also had the side shift with the T-90. I live in lower Indiana.Know anyone that can pull off the swop to orignal.I'll do it myself if possible.PS I love takeing something apart I know nothing about.

 

I found the guys phone number I bought the Tux from!!!!VOICE MAIL.He said he put some money into the trans.I wonder if he took the coulmn shifter off.

 

Let me say first off I dont know how the column shift was made or hooked up for sure.Is It possible to hook up the coulmn shift with the 225 bellhousing.It looks to be in the way.

 

Then I can't explain my 4 CJs w/ 225 V6 & T90(A) in the last 2 yrs. :?

 

sounds like the t-86 was swapped out. the -90 has a better low range than -86.

 

I suppose it's possible/probable, but just find it hard to believe.

 

I'm wondering then if it could have been a dealer thing ever?

 

I know my 225 is not stock.She is a 64 Buick Special,not the Dauntless.

 

Looking for a top cover to put on my T-90 after it is restored the original column shifter.Salers/ideas?
