what is involved in an automatic to standard swap in a CJ-7. guy is wanting to trade the transmission and engine out of Ed's old cj that i sold a few years ago for my rebuilt tf999. how hard is it to swap out pedal assemblys and such? do i need to convert to hyd clutch?
I would think pedals would be easy. There is already a hole in the firewall for the clutch master cylinder for hydro clutch. I don't think you HAVE to run the hydro clutch but it is a million times better than the clutch linkages. The column would have to be modified or replaced with a manual one. The skid plate/crossmember has all the holes needed. Cut a hole in the floor and get a boot. What else is there?
found a hyd conversion kit for a decent price http://extremecustomparts.com/c-6906...n-kits-cj.html
my biggest deal was the pedal assemby just bolting in
it bolts in, you can get hydro using stock 4 cyl parts for the master and slave. get the tunnel cover from the guy, pedels, clutch linkage, bell crank, rod and maybe even swap columns
yea thats all part of the swap so far, but for me, spending the money to get the hyd conversion with everything there is worth the money
if no body lift then hose from q-teck or 4wd hardware then rest of parts from oreilly so you have the warranty if you would ever need them. what trans are you gonna run
t-4 i think, its out of an 85
are you still gonna run the 6 banger, as long as it is not an sr4, curved shifter.... run

why would you put a t4 in place of an auto?
I agree, a t4 = poop. Get a t-176
i know the t-4 is crap but i know its in good shape and its just a run around rig. the whole vehicle is stock. The reason behind it all is that im trading him my low mile rebuilt auto trans for the engine and t-4
is your engine bad?
yeah, i think #6 is toast.
i vote np435 bastadrization!
yup motor smoked, but from what i have read, i can swap in a sm465 later on if i so choose. but like i said guys, its just a farm/ranch truck, not a crawler.
c'mon rowdy. your a self appointed mechanic. tear it down, get out some emory cloth and one hole it!
insert sarcastic font and a blackflipoff2 just for good measure
my give a fvck on that motor is gone. the cyl is galled beyond repair
Dang, where were you a month ago when I was wanting to swap a tf999 into my cj (with a t176).
i had it posted on the boards. still wanna swap? but im really needing the motor more than anything
Why don't you just find another motor and not have to swap trans? Aren't non efi jeep 6cyl easy and cheap to come buy?
yeah, complete runners are ~$250.Quote:

or get a efi 4.0 ho which is a great upgrade
I don't think 4.0s are as cheap as they were a year ago. All the swap candidates now have orange paint on the blocks.
there is gonna be no money swapped so this is a cheap way to get my CJ back on the road. yea the t-4 sucks like cox, but when it goes out, its easy to swap in a SM465 b/c the bellhousing just needs 2 holes.
you are going to drop more than 175 on misc bull**** doing a drivetrain swap
Well I dont have a motor to go with it but I am interested. How long is a tf999?Quote:
