I'm in the process of pulling the engine from my 65' CJ5 plow vehicle to replace
the clutch and ring gear. The last thing I need to do is remove the In/Out -
High/Low shift levers.

It looks like I have to remove the front drive shaft u-joint yoke and then
remove the unit that the shift levers connect to. Is this correct? I really
don't want to remove this and have gears and springs fall out.

Thanks for any help

I took the transmission and transfer case out of my '81 CJ5. I dropped them
out the bottom using a rope for a sling, and a floor jack to control the
fall.

Hi Larry,
The whole floor boards come out from around the shift levers of your
Real Jeep: http://----------.com/temp/cj5floor.jpg Just pull the starter,
bellhousing bolts, clutch bell crank, front and rear drive, and PTO shafts,
emergency cable, and drop the transmission and cross member as a unit on a
floor jack: http://www.----------.com/Dana18.jpg
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O

Bill & Jeff,

Thanks for the replies. I should have made it clear that I have some minor
engine work that will be much easier to do with it out of the vehicle so I want
to pull the engine with trans together.

Everything is ready to pull but it's not going to come out as a unit with the
In/Out - High/Low shift levers attached.

I added some text to Bill's photo below pointing to the section of the
transmission that I think I need to remove but as I mentioned before I'd like to
avoid any surprises.

Thanks again for the help
Larry
