" From: "Joe Wyatt" <jwyatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> " " Jim, everything I have including Jeep Catalog & Order forms for the 1980 to " 1986 Service Manuals shows that the 1980 and 1981 jeeps used the T-176 or " T-18A Transmissions, even the Haynes and Chilton's repair manuals state the " T-5 was first offered in 1982 along with the T-176 and T-18A. btw the t-176/177/178 is a ford toploader with -real-wide- ratios [iirc 3.01:1, 3.52:1, and 3.82:1 1st] and an aluminum case. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
