CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
I am trying to get my CJ8 (258) back up and running. I have a pathetic T-5
and Dana 300 transfer case. I have access to a 76 or 77 T150 and Dana 20 transfer case and a T-18 tranny. Will the T-18 bolt up to the D300? Or would the T-150 and D20 work in the CJ8? Would drive shaft length be a concern? Thanks chris |
Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
Hmmm... I rather like my T-5 tranny and Dana 300 combo.
The Mustang V8 boys also like the same T-5 tranny in their rides.... My 258 goes like a scalded cat and will light up the tires in 1st and 2nd And bury the spedo in 4th and the Dana 300 shifts like a dream at any speed in and out of 4 high.

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
My current T-5's first synchro is just about gone and I have no third gear.
If I could find a replacement I'd be glad to keep my 5 speed. I did find a T-5 out of a 1986(?) Mustang. If I knew that would work, I'd jump on it! chris "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:401DBF09.4A6CA344@sympatico.ca... > Hmmm...

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
Just looking at the pictures, (no experience with the Dana 300) at
the transfer mounting areas, I would say there're no way of bolting the Dana 300 to a Borg Warner T-18. It's in bunch of transmissions that bolted the main drive gear on their output shafts to fit inside the Dana 18 and 20 transfers.

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
Big differences in Ford case, input, output and tail housing. Throw
a set of sync rings in your T-5, and fix your clutch linkage.

If your T-5 must be rebuilt, I think you will find that rebuilding it will cost more that the cost to buy the T-18, the adapter and other necessary parts to mate the T-18 to the Dana 300. If it is a Ford T-18, the length of the tranny and Advance Adapters adapter will be the same length as the T-5 so no driveshaft modifications will be required. (Don't know about the Jeep T-18.) I would forget about using the Dana 20 transfer case. Low range is only 2:1, whereas the Dana 300 is 2.62:1. There are other installation issues as well. The pros of a T-18 - it is substantially stronger than a T-5, and if it has the 6.32:1 1st gear you will substantially increase your crawl ratio. The only negative to the T18 is that you will not have an overdrive 5th gear. (I swapped to a T-19 - same as T-18 but with synchro in 1st - but because mine is primarily a trail rig and not a freeway flyer I have seldom missed 5th gear.) You need to determine if it is a Ford or Jeep T-18, and what 1st gear ratio you have. (the 6.32:1 is most desirable and also the most rare). I think it would be worthwhile for you to contact Advance Adapters for their catalog and installation guide. You might also want to contact Novak Engineering in Utah. AA and Novak are the gurus of tranny swaps. They should be able to answer all of your questions and supply everything you need for the swap.

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
I am not sure, but I think that the D300 tcase is about as good a unit as
you will find anywhere. I have a NP435 trans wedged in between my engine and my D300. The 435 has a 1st gear ratio of 6.69:1. If I had a 4:1 kit in my D300, I would have a crawl ratio of nearly 110. Almost too low to be useful. With the standard 2.6 ratio of LO range, I have a crawl ratio of 75. when in LO range, and in 1st gear, I can wrap the engine to the red line, and I still can not shift into 2nd faster than it takes to coast to a stop. Your CJ8 has plenty of room under it, and you can put in just about anything.

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
You can buy the parts to fix the current trans for about $150. I would look
into fixing in myself before I thought about pitching it for something new.
