It would need a custom length rear driveshaft, but I believe everything else could have come off the parts department shelves. That could have been either the usual CJ close-ratio transmission or the J-truck granny-gear transmission. If your VIN shows a 3-speed, that's what it was delivered with.Ī personal anecdote - when I bought my first CJ-6 new in 1975, the dealership I worked for offered to convert it to a T-18 4-speed. My reading of the parts book does not positively indicate it ever existed (though the illustrations contradict the listings). Some claim to have seen or owned them, but there's no other evidence in the books or pics of 4-speed VINs.
More likely, it's easier to make the customer enter this irrelevant info than for them to figure out that it does not apply to the application data they get from the manufacturers.Ī '77-79 CJ with a T-18 4-speed behind a 304 is only rumored to have existed. The parts store sites could be asking you for the CJ-5 model because they are collecting info for their own marketing purposes. AFAIK this information was only found on the original invoice, and undoubtedly that all went into the dumpster 20+ years ago.
There is no appearance package info in the VIN number. The TSM has a figure that shows you where to find these on your VIN plate. Paint codes are online you'll probably need the factory parts book to decode the trim. There is no guarantee that paint and trim will tell you more, but they might. The only appearance package info on the VIN plate is the paint and trim numbers.
