dana 20 teralow kit ?'s

[xjmudslut]

i picked up a rebuilt dana 20 with terlow kit it has a 6 spline input gear. not sure what th400 trans is in my jeepster believe its out of 80's chev pickup. i think i have the original jeepster twin stick dana 20 adapted to it. will my new case bolt right up? was aslo wondering if i can put twin stick front plate and shift rods in the new cj5 dana 20 with the terlow kit.

Dana 20 cases don't really differ if they are Jeep cases. The input gear stays on the transmission, so no need to worry about that. You should be able to unbolt the old one and bolt the new one in its place.

You can install twin sticks on any Jeep D20. Not sure what you mean by the front plate, or why a CJ5 is being mentioned.

The 6 spline TeraLow gear will not mate to the 15 spline TH400 output unless an adapter is used. Either buy an adapter, or keep the Model 20 gear ratio.
I'd get the adapter, but this will be way to long for a CJ5.

Yeah, you have to change the gear on the back of the trans to the tera low gear, otherwise they won't mesh correctly. You might see if you can just buy the gear for the th400 from tera low.

For that matter is Tera-low still in business and making these gears? I have a set in my buggy and I'm allways worried they're gonna strip eventually.

teraflex is the company and there still in business and will sell the single gear i need for 125. and this setup is in my c101 not my cj5. although my 5 is now stretched to 95" it would probably be to long for it. i like the t18a low first gear anyways. the 400 is long geared in first so i think the teralow kit will work good in it

The TH400 was only used in the Jeepster. Are you sure they make a 15 spline? The only advertise for the 6 spline manual trans?

yeah they have a 15 spline too i talked to them this morning. my commando has a chev 350 and 440 trans out of 80's pickup. not sure of the year the numbers on motor say its a 1986+ canadian truck 4 bolt 350. the previous owner said motor and trans were out of 92 truck but i dont think they used a 400 that year.. i dont know i'll get it figured out eventually...

Because there are several different stock shifter assemblies between Jeeps, Scouts, and whatever else had a 20. He wants to know if his current factory twin stick set-up will swap over. I presume it will, but I don't know for sure. I've been thinking about swapping a Scout 20 that I have into my Jeep to get a better shifter than the stock CJ monkey motion, so it's a valid question.

yeah im thinking the case in my commando is a scout one. it has factory twin stick the front plate the shift rods go through is a big cast plate meant for twin stick.. i'm sure i could swap it to my new cj5 single stick case but dont really like the deign of it anyway i'll just buy the new kit for my new teralow case

[xjmudslut]

this is the shift setup the 20 in the commando has. the picture i found is not mine it is a jeep d20 with ih shift tower and rods.. maybe thats what i got?????

[crashnzuk]

Dunno, my CJ 20 has some real monkey motion, a rod goes forward from the shifter to a bellcrank which has a rod going to the shift rails. It is too complicated and doesn't shift very well. The Scout case I have has a single stick that acts directly on the shift rails. I can actually shift the Scout case on the floor, I can hardly shift the CJ case with it bolted in and a seat belt on

Yep I'm aware of that. Just wasn't sure what the OP was referring to as the front plate.

In fact, the OP has thrown so much info out there that's irrelevant, that I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish or what parts are out of what etc.

Not sure why the CJ5 was mentioned in the first post if that's not the vehicle we're talking about.

As for the factory twin stick I call BS. It may have some factory parts, but it didn't leave the factory twin sticked.

That picture is a friend's twin stick D20. I'm the one who first posted it on the web. Looks like someone else saved it to their photobucket account.

It's a CJ Dana 20 with a Scout D20 shifter tower and Dana 18 twin sticks. The T18 in the background is a hybrid T18/T19. It has the 6.32 first gear, but it's synchro'd.

Those are not Jeep sticks, they're international from early Scout.

Since he was talking shifters, I imagined that "front plate" means the part that bolts around the front output that has the shifter boss on it. I think he mentioned CJ5 so people would know what this case came out of just in case there are any differences. I know that first post isn't 1000% clear, but if you actually read it, it makes sense (at least to me ). I've been reading this board for a long time and can make sense of the worst gibberish now a days, so take that into account

the front plate i meant the shift tower so obviously i got ih tower on a jeep case or whole ih case. as for the 5 i mentioned i was meaning the case i bought with the low kit was out of a cj5..

the picture i posted looks just like my shifter setup in the c101 thats why i posted it i hope its not illeagle or something.. just googled dana 20 twin stick and found it..

[xjmudslut]

i know i'm not the best at typing and making sense of it. was just trying to ask if i could put the twin stick setup off my original case on to the case with the terralow. i now know i can but have to tear it apart and change rods as well. think i will just keep it single stick till i buy the kit so i dont have to tear down both cases. also i figured out i do need the 15 spline bull gear..
