Well folks I made the decision last week to hire out the rebuilding of my
T90 (I'll wait for the collective groan). Too many yard projects -
including a new shed for all the extra Jeep stuff - in the works. I'd
rather spend a little $$ than having to keep hearing my 2 year old say
"Daddy's Jeep...in the garage..broken...daddy
fix...screwdriver..screws.."..:)
Anyhoo, I want to get all the parts I'll likely need up front and deliver
them with the Jeep. I have a spare complete/assembled tranny and a box of
parts but these both have the short shaft though and the T90 in the Jeep is
the long shaft.
I suspect the loose teeth from the grenaded reverse gear have caused damamge
to the mainshaft so I wanted to replace it. A recent post by Bill Lagler
made me question if there were 2 variations of the longer shaft - one for
the V6 and the other for the Trucks/Wagons. Anyone have clues where to get
the V6 version?
Mike, the long V6 shaft I talked about was for the T86. The T86 and later
the T14 are the tran's that came with the V6. When you swap a V6/V8 into
a CJ with a T90 they use the long T90 input shaft from a truck/wagon.
Are you sure you have a T90 or did the dealer swap in a T86 along with the
V6 when they yanked the diesel?
BTW, if your in the mood to spend a little money, swap in a 4 spd
instead of fixing what you have. And to fix the problem with your
2 year old you need to buy another jeep, that way you have one running
to go for rides while you work on the other :)
