I am trying to find someone who has, themselves, installed an automatic transmission in a CJ 5, successfully.
I am interested in the project, but only hear about CJ 5 's with automatics, in passing, and no one gives info on how much of a PITA it was.
It currently has a 258, T-150, 300 t-case ( I think, I have not thought about the t-case for a while. ) At any rate, stock for 1977.
Thanks in advance.
My main areas of interest are:
Auto or 5 speed.
Driveshaft difficulties with auto conv.
bell housing sources
t-case replacement?
I am basically speaking, not good with much after the clutch. Never done anything rear of the clutch, and have no idea what works, as far as trannys, etc. I do know that a lot of people say T-5, and almost as many people say NO to the T-5.
Anyone care to shed some light?
