    Picked up a 73 this weekend and have been assessing what's got to be done to it. Found that the transmission and transfer case had no oil, just water. Not good but not a big deal. Any idea which transmission came in the 73 CJ5? It has the 232 straight six in it an a D20 transfer case. By the way, I bought it for parts, and my son decided we need to put it back together.http://s959.photobucket.com/albums/ae73/jc588/73 CJ/

    Me thinks it SHOULD be a T-14 trans (3 speed) dunno what the 4 speed # is and a Dana 20 transfer case.
    (I got the info here, there is a tech page, all kinds of good info) .
    I was thinkin' when I do my 4.0 H.O. swap putting a 5 speed trans in, just to try to sqeeze a few more MPG outta my jeep.

    Yes, T-14.

    You can also use the T-15 and Dana 20 from a '72-75 CJ or '72-73 Commando with a V8, or with some minor changes, a T-150 and D20 from a '76-79 CJ. If you use the T-150, you'll need the bellhousing and the clutch parts. Either of these would be an upgrade.

    There's a '74 factory manual online at www.oljeep.com and a '72 factory manual online at www.trailforge.com - either of these will cover the T-14, and the drivetrain/options in '74 are the same as in '73.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I wasn't sure which one it was. I'd like to use the parts for my 66, but it doesn't look like my son is gonna let that happen. Thanks again

    Just a side note, the I-6 T-14 uses a different input shaft than the V-6 version and IIRC 2nd gear is different as well.
