eddie, i've been all over your entire site and it's awesome!  if you have a minute to help me out i thank you so much. i have a 74 AMC postal jeep (dj-5). my tranny went out. its in the shop and the mechanic tells me its a borg warner t5 tranny. well its an automatic and i dont think a t5 auto exists. everything i've researched says its an m-11. all i know is its a cast iron case, the torque converter has six mounting bolts to the fly-wheel, and its a really short tail shaft(about 25 inches from bell housing to tail). i deliver a route so this downtime is killing me. is there any transmission in another vehicle i can use? i got one from a 76 gremlin and although the bell housing bolts up, it's too long(about 36 inches) and i cant cut that much out of my drive shaft. or do you know of a parts distributor who carries rebuild kits for it? any solution you could present me with would mean so much to me. thank you again for your time.     aaron
