T-14 to Dana Tranfercase Help

    Hi,

    I am taking apart a CJ3b that has been converted to a Dauntless and T-14. When I pulled the D18 I found that they put a 26Tx10 bull gear in the original 1 1/8 inch D18 to make it "fit" the T-14 with a plastic spacer to hold the bull gear in position. It didn't work. The plastic spacer got chewed up and the bull gear was moving all around. It is a mess.

    I can't find on the diagrams how the bull gear should be installed to the transmission. Does it need a washer or crush sleeve or something to locate it on the shaft properly?

    Thanks!

    There's a ~1/4" washer/spacer that slides on the shaft before the gear. The exact dimensions will have to come from others, the only one I have is installed.:v6:

    Thanks, the homemade plastic spacer is about 1/2 inch thick. I am guessing the input gears were very different.

    I am thinking about dumping the whole setup for a sm465.

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    sounds like you're missing the spacer for the rear bearing.
    it's pictures here, at the rear of the trans, in front of the nut and washer.
    The Jeep P/N for the spacer is: 991079
    should be fairly easy to find
    The physical dimensions of the gear are the same, except for the tooth counts.
    I wouldn't toss the trans unless you have broken teeth or other major problems with it.
    this could be an easy fix....

    Thanks for the diagrams and info. I will be glad when my service manual arrives. Now I see the spacer that is missing.

    Unfortunately, the splines on the output shaft of the t-14 are all chewed up as well, enough that the gear is sloppy when mounted. The inside of the transmission looks good, so maybe I will just rebuild it and replace the main shaft.

    The Dana 18 is toast, but I am switching to Dana 20 and a centered rear axle anyway.

    I will definitely check out O-R Four Wheel.

    Thanks!
