CJ5 Transmission Parts Inspection

Yeah, I will try to get a pic of the one in my Jeep's floor, now that I found it. It is a very odd place to put it indeed. For people doing the twin stick conversion, is there a ready-made plate available somewhere to cover that hole, or would I probably just want to fab something myself?

 

You'll have to fab your own cover plate, but its only a small hole. You can use the existing seal ring for a template.
A twin stick conversion requires more parts than meet the eye, and you have everything for the singe-lever. Why not just keep the single-stick setup? I actually prefer the single version.

Yeah the more I look into it, the more I probably will leave it stock, unless I run across a twin stick for super cheap on CL to salvage parts from. Mostly I was just hoping to maybe tie the number of sticks record down the line, if I could ever find an overdrive to use with my PTO winch.

 

I think the guys with the hydraulic PTO pumps tend to wind up the winners on that score, a mere five sticks only impresses the lightweights.
