No matter what it appears that your T-98 or T-18 didn't come stock in your CJ. Also one of their examples of what an early T-18 should look like is actually a T-98 case. says that the T-18 guts will fit in a T-98 case. The top and the case are virtually identical between the two. Some early T-18's had the T-98 markings on the shift top. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!ĭid a little more research which has proven that case casting marks can be very confusing. I can post pics of inside top of trans and shift forks when I get home from work tonight if it will help. Clutch has about 1" to 20" play at the top but other than that it is Tight. It did occasionally, like once a month, driving everyday, pop out of gear in first or second at slow speeds. I had to use the palm of my hand and slam the shifter with excessive force (and I'm a long way from being weak physically) to go into gear. As far as the sound and feel, there was no change until that day. He also said that the top spring on the clutch could stand to be tighter, but that it wasn't really bad and we ordered one. He drove around and said that it "Runs Great and handles better than any CJ-5 I've ever driven". I had him drive it to get his opinion on "everything/anything" when I had him do the fluids (I had him do the fluids so I could watch and learn to be able to do everything myself). He said problem was probably inside trans. Took top of trans to WillysRestoration owner he said the shift forks were good. I took top of trans off and fluid level is good. Trans fluid was just changed the week before.
