While I tend to agree that they were not supposed to be in 80 models
it appears that a few were built with T150 3 speeds in them. Possible
at start of model year to use up old stock. Other than it being a 3
speed it is a sturdy tranny. Ratios are 1st-2.99, 2nd-1.75, 3rd-1.00
and rev-3.17. Around 79 saw the end of the T18 4 speed too and the 4
sp that replaced with a T-176 that had a first gear not much deepr
than the T-150 rather than the granny gear first of the T-18. The T150
will hold up fine but your clutch will not if you lft it and install
bigger tires with regearing axles. If you leave it stock you will do
fine.

I would not use tires like that with stock gearing because it would be
hard on clutch. Jeeps back then came with a small tires diameter and
32 or 33's would represent a large effective final drive ratio change
and I would not recomand it unless you regear it or maybe swap in a
old T-18 with a granny first gear.

Re: CJ7 3spds?
 

No one has ever bitched about the 3 speed that I have heard of, it is a
strong tranny. I have wheeled with folks with them.

I have never heard of any clutch failures in CJ's from 'anyone' who
knows how to drive a standard tranny in a Jeep. When you off road you
have your low range which goes nicely with the 3 speed.

Seeing as the CJ7 will fit 31's in it's stock form which is where the
stock speedometer gear is exact to a GPS, upping to a 32 or 33" tires
isn't a big step.

The higher number of gears in the later transmissions and the overdrive
they add in is for that CAFE or whatever they want to call the fuel
consumption numbers. You get better mileage when you have the gear
ranges to keep the engine in it's 'sweet' spot or around 2300 rpm for
the 258.

Look close at the frame tails and at the inside added box frame on the
passenger side behind the door and on the drivers side by the rear of
the front spring for rust and cracks. Also check the steering box
anchor points.
