I think by the 80's Ford switched to the T19. I know a friend had a '76 with a T18 and it had a divorced 205 behind it.tgreese wrote:Don't know about the earlier ones, but by the '80s the Fords use the same long output and long adapter that my J20 uses. Same oddball spline count too, AFAIK.
You sure it wasn't a Jeep T18? They did come from the factory in 80's J20's with a 208 behind them. Along with the super long adapter between the trans and t-case and reverse down by 4th instead of up by 3rd.rocklaurence wrote:I salavaged a J20 with Ford T18 and Ford NP208. The input shaft is slightly different length and rear is 31 spline. Other than that It is the same as the Jeep T18. It bolted up with the Jeep spacer. I still have the parts on the shelf. Cant seem to sell them--note its not a complete trans, selling the parts
80's Jeep T18's have a 31 spline output (Same as ford). 70's have the 10 spline, which fits into the dog gear on the front of the D20.rocklaurence wrote:No it was different than the other T18s I had on the shelf. The pilot bearing nipple was much longer and it had the 31 spline output shaft to the Tcase. The Tcase was also wider-case was 3: wider pushing it out to the side to clear the trans/exhaust I guess.
True of the TF727, T5, and T17x transmissions. Not for the 80+ T18.rocklaurence wrote:I thought/but maybe wrong that all Jeep output splines were 23 going into the NPs??
If that's the case, it maybe a Jeep T18Stuka wrote:True of the TF727, T5, and T17x transmissions. Not for the 80+ T18.rocklaurence wrote:I thought/but maybe wrong that all Jeep output splines were 23 going into the NPs??
