One more tranny question

I have finally got my tranny issues straightened out.. It's ready for install [Jeep T18 4-speed from a Jeep truck.] I have a T150 bell housing to use with it.. Is this bell housing gonna work??

 

If you are using the Ford input shaft and Ford case, definitely. If you are using the Jeep input shaft, no. The depth is wrong. I've never tried to put a Jeep T-18 case to a T-150 bellhousing so I'm not sure there but may be possible by drilling and tapping the holes. You would also need the Ford front bearing retainer as well. Nickmil

 

I am using the shorter Ford shaft and bearing retainer.. Actually I ended up using the parts from a Novak kit..

 

Don't you have to use the T176 bellhousing for the Ford input shaft? It has been soooo long.

 

Either will work. I have a T-150 bell on my Jeep T-18. You will have to drill one of the holes for the transmission mount. What I did was drill and tap it out. Then threaded a bolt from the inside of the bell housing. This gives you a stud on the bell to help line up the tranny as you stab it in. Then a lock washer and nut finishes it up.

 

Sounds familiar. Sure it will help.

 

On the one bolt that HudsonHawk mentions (lower left corner), you want to be sure and use a stud or bolt which protrudes outward or the clutch fork will most likely bind against the remainder of the bolt coming through the bell. I ended up using a wheel stud.
