A: I don't know how to explain it either, but the vin codes even match. I do know only the 6 cyls came with it. At any rate, the upgraded version is available new from Advanced Adapter (last I checked) From: "Joe Wyatt" <jwyatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Identifying the T-5 5 Speed Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2005 17:20:50 -0600 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. I'm not sure how the 80 to 81s noted below got the T-5.

Maybe not World Class, but they are fairly tough.
