I have a four speed manual in my recently acquired '86 CJ7 (258). Saw
a thread from a while back (Mike Romain) suggesting that the four speed
was not a stock option in 1986.

According to this resource it was:

Anyone know for a fact whether it is even possible that I have a stock
tranny or not?

Hi Dean,
If you have the 2.5 liter four cylinder, but the six (258 CID)
would have had a beefier input shaft of the Borg Warner T-5:

The 4 speed was MOST DEFINITELY an option in 1986! I had a factory
Tremec T-176 4sp in my '86 CJ7 Laredo. I knew the Jeep since it had 11k
miles on it back in '88 and subsequently bought it from the owner at 24k
miles. Are you sure that's not what's in yours? The T4 is a lighter duty
trans.

Thanks for the responses.

In fact, all I really know is that it is a 4 speed and I didn't really
suspect it had been replaced (nothing else has obviously been modified
on the vehicle). Given this, it most likely is the T176. I should
have read the link I included a little more carefully as the T4 was
only listed for the 4 banger ;)

In follow-up, is this a good solid transmission? I have no complaints,
but again it is a new rig for me and my first jeep. Any quirks/issues
I should know about?
