    T-90 being stock for what ?
    You want to know the main drive gear ( input shaft ) tooth count or the spline count ?

    Jeep mostly used 3 different main drive gears for the Borg Warner T-90's.
    4 cylinder Jeep engines all have 10 spline, 15/16" diameter shafts.
    So those do not work with the common GM clutch driven disk.

    It's likely that your T-90 has the W/O # 906203 input gear from a Jeep SW or Pickup.
    That main drive gear is 10 spline, 1-1/8" diameter and has 18 driving teeth.
    Those must be mated to the 33 tooth countershaft gear ( cluster gear ).
    That gearset yields the typical 2.798 first gear reduction ratio.


    It is also possible that an IH Scout main drive gear is installed to allow use of common GM 10.5" clutch driven disk.
    The IH T-90 main drive gear is 10 spline, 1-1/8" diameter.
    IH main drive usually has 16 tooth driving gears.
    Those must be mated to the 35 tooth countershaft gear ( cluster gear ).
    That gearset yields the desireable 3.34 first gear reduction ratio.

    Back in the day when we used to put the 283 in, we could get away with the same clutch as the V6 setup - the only difference is in the thickness of the Buick vs the Chevy PPlate. Go to dial a clutch and look them up for the two.

    FWIW - I think the pics are gone, but I posted the LUK part numbers for both on here a while back.
