Hiya guys! ok.. im foolish and bought a jeep without driving it.. what can i say.. it looked mint.. LMFAO
it has a 4.2 straight 6 1984 cj7
the guy swapped a t5 in a believe.. it was an auto. But the tranny is JUNK
whats the most cost efective root for me to go? buy an auto? buy another
t5? what trannys will bolt right in? t4? it looked the same.. anyway. should have it rebuit for 500$?!

thanks guys.. (Super out of luck newbie)

T-5 is stock for that year , I just rebuilt ( replaced only what was actually bad - cluster gear ,cluster gear bearing ,front cluster gear thrust washer and 2nd and 4th syncros )myself at work ,I'm a GM / Land Rover tech . It is relatively easy to build ,with a service manual . It cost me $230.00 and about 5 hours .

This trans is not hardcore , it a good daily driver , thats why I rebuilt it as my cj is a DD and light trail truck ,as I have a hardcore rig .

If this is light duty , rebuild it and enjoy it .

If this is going to be more , then any trans from any 4.2 or 4.0 or AMC V-8 ( 304 -401 ) stick or auto , will bolt up to your motor , the problem is in the transfercase . Search !

Based on that......I'd think a rebuild would be just fine.........:D
