WTB: T98 transmission

Post by **jake138** » Wed May 05, 2021 11:41 am

Looking to see if anyone has a T98 4 speed floating around that they'd be willing to part with. I'm located in central Connecticut and I'd be willing to drive or pay for shipping.

For your M38?

Yes I've been considering a T98 for its creeper gear. It would be great for putzing through fh the woods, and they mate to an L head.

I believe you will also need the adapter plate and may need to make an adjustment on the transfer's relative position to the cross member.

There's a few guys around the internet that lay out the details of the swap. I hope my post didn't imply that I believe it's going to be a direct replacement for a T90: there are several significant modifications that this swap will require. A T98 from a CJ will at least bolt up to my transfer case, which saves me on one step.

Actually you did especially with the "mates up to the L134" comment. The 1" spacer/adapter is for mating it to the bellhousing. In the open body jeeps I only recall the T-98 as an option in the CJ3B & CJ5 so yes you are correct in assuming that a few changes will be needed. That 1" front spacer/adapter PN 910468 and the rear tranny to transfer adapter plate PN 911215 I believe are only found on the T98's built for the CJ3B & CJ5. So be careful which T-98's you consider buying. That rear insulator and mount ON 912721 are also different on the T98 so watch for that as well. The front to rear offset is different I believe.
