My son borrowed my CJ while I did some work to his truck. He called yesterday and said, " Hey there's a grinding noise comming from the transmission". Crap! I really didn't need anything else to fix:roll:. I guess I get to see what the inside of a T-176 4speed looks like:scratch:. Oh well, it ain't gonna unbolt it's self. I'll probablly need more beer for this job than I have on hand.
Welp, guess I'll pull my trans an see what's making the grinding noise.

I finally got a chance to take my trans appart. The front bearing was toast. I couldn't believe the syncros looked as good as they did. It didn't want to shift into first unless it was stopped, I guess it was all the play. I got my trans rebuild kit from a place in Knoxville called, What ever it takes, transmission parts. They were the cheapest by far, parts seem to be good quality. Gonna clean the case tomorow, may strat putting it back togther monday if all goes well at work.

Them 176's are easy to work on. You'll have it back on the road in no time.
I've never done any manual transmission work, so throw up some photos if you get a chance.
just email it to me - webmaster @ jeepz and I'll post it for you
If I can take some pics tomorow I will.
Ok, got my Jeep trans bac k together and in it. It works and shifts great, no leaks that I can see. The 1st and 2nd syncros were bad when I got it and I've just dealt with them untill now. While it was down I did some parts swapping with a friend and got a good set of 33x12.50's bfg's on 10" rims and put them on it. They really helped it out vs the 31-10.50's on 8's it had. Sorry I didn't manage to get any pics of the process, our dig camera has bit the dust. Anyway It's nice to be back in my old CJ!
