Auto in CJ5
I am trying to find someone who has, themselves, installed
an automatic transmission in a CJ 5, successfully. I am interested in the project, but only hear about CJ 5 's with automatics, in passing, and no one gives info on how much of a PITA it was. It currently has a 258, T-150, 300 t-case ( I think, I have not thought about the t-case for a while. ) At any rate, stock for 1977. Thanks in advance. My main areas of interest are: Auto or 5 speed. Driveshaft difficulties with auto conv. bell housing sources t-case replacement? I am basically speaking, not good with much after the clutch. Never done anything rear of the clutch, and have no idea what works, as far as trannys, etc. I do know that a lot of people say T-5, and almost as many people say NO to the T-5. Anyone care to shed some light? |

You are aware that one of the reasons AMC developed the CJ-7 was to allow an optional automatic transmission, right? Wedging one into a -5 makes for a really, really short drive shaft. Good luck! |
