From the rest of the responses and the link, it would appear I was in
error about a 4 speed in the last CJ's whenever I wrote that.

It sounds like the T-176 4 speed was around still then.

My T-5's 5th gear or overdrive is useless anyway with my stock 3.31
gears and 33" tires. If I use it, my gas mileage drops by about 5 mpg.
