Re: [AMC-list] Transmission Tech

Well, there's a big difference between running a T-5 behind a street car and an off-road Jeep! Even the Jeep four cylinder could break one under the right rock crawling or mudding conditions!! 

The BA 10/5 trans has the same bad rep with four wheelers. It's at least as strong as a T-5, probably a little better than the early T-5. I know people with street driven Jeeps (and 4.0L) that never had a problem with them after over 150K miles, and "real" Jeepers who break them in under 50K.

It may have been upgraded already or you drive fairly gently. They have a really bad rep with the CJ crowd. (mine died before I got home because they only hold 2 pints of oil and mine has less than a 1/2 pint left!)

I'd take offense at the term TURD. I have been running one of those turds for years, it has totally unknown mileage on it and still works perfect between my 4.0L and 3:31 gears. Sure you can break it, but hell you can step on a turd to if you don't pay attention to what you are doing!
