Your comment in the video is entirely correct, there are no other T18 rebuild videos that I could find either, so when I looked again and found this one I was so psyched. Thank you for putting it together and posting, it is really helping me!
This is a great trans I did a E4od to T-18 swap in a 96 F-150 the auto felt bogged out in every gear a real slug the 4 speed made a world of difference now its a real pulling rig I did a locker in the rear as well. I also added a giant Aluminum radiator to get rid of the auto radiator with cooling line fittings now Im working on hand porting an extra head I got just for kicks.
Of course I'll have more videos! I am in the middle of moving and the content has slowed down. Plus I just recorded repairing my wife's 2014 explorer so I'll be posting that as well. Should have a new video soon!
Thanks for the video man. I am in the process of rebuilding a T-19 and though Novak sent instructions, I have watched your video several times and will likely watch it several more times. I have a 77 CJ 7 with a 1971 Mustang Mexican 302 High Nickel. It had the T-150 3 speed, but syncros are gone. I was given a T-19 and a NP 435 and opted to install the T-19. I'm in the process of installing a Novak Adapter to go to my Dana 20. ....... I'm not real happy with my current clutch egagement setup. Ford Mustang Bellhousing with Bell Crank Assembly from the Jeep. I know there are some 400 dollar fixes, but will be checking O.D. on front bearing retainer against a Ford Ranger Hydraulic set up. Hoping I can configure it and make it more efficiently. Thanks, and keep the videos coming!
Hey man no problem! There aren't to many videos on these old transmissions. I went looking for one when I was going to tear mine down. So I figured I'd make one lol. Sounds like a sweet setup on that CJ7. You can't beat these old 4 speed for wheeling. I will resume marketing more videos once I am settled in my new shop! Thank you!
What did you use to clean the case and parts you were re-using. I've got mine completely torn down, and have bout 4 cans of brake cleaner, and I have a pressure washer, but no sandblaster. looks like you used a sandblaster on inside of case. Looks factory fresh. @@ChampWorksGarage
New from Pusa Studios live stream. Look forward to getting to know your channel better and watching more vids. This was amazing, and very interesting to see how a transmission is rebuilt. Cheers!
If your doing all that change the strut keys and springs as well as new synchro rings polish the gears where the synchro rings rest. The Idler gear set looks nice Bro you needed a small parts kit with new thrust washers and all expendable bits ive did this before trust me you dont want to re-work. Also please use Royal Purple gear box oil you will be please with it.
Well I’m not sure if this will help me 100% but THANK YOU for making this! I’ve been trying to rebuild my ‘69 bronco 3speed and couldn’t figure out how to get it out of the case because it wouldn’t slide out the front like the manual says.
Nice video. Not withstanding the frequent use of the term "roller bearings", I did not see a single "roller bearing" in the entire video. I saw bearing needles and bearing rollers but no roller bearings. There is a difference. Also, the loose balls are not ball bearings, they are bearing balls or check balls. Thanks for posting your video, it will help when I go to rebuild my own transmission.
I have a 1975 bronco that I am getting ready to 5 speed swap. This bronco 2 I put this T18 in is long gone but the transmission is on the floor in the shop. Good luck!
Thanks for posting this. Helped out in my t19 rebuild. I am down to replacing the output bearing. How would you suggest i press it on? Any tips? I have access to a press, but dont want to make a $50 mistake and have to buy another bearing. Edit: got it all done, finally. Shifts ans drives better than new. Thanks again!
Just curious, my input shaft has an identical chip like yours where the snap ring would go in. It doesnt look to be debilitating to the snap ring surface so long as I secure the opening of the ring away from the chip. I don't have a new input shaft. This should be okay, right?
Yeah man they suck for sure. Best thing was the pliers I bought at the auto parts store. I show them later in the video and show them in use. Makes them so much easier.

Thank you for watching! I am glad I could help!
The problem with the main gear removal was you hadn't opened the beer yet. Had you opened it first, no lost parts.

i hope you make more videos there are not enough bronco ii channels, i don't have a v8 swap but will watch just because its bronco ii

Great video on a top loader trans. I believe this video would be helpful in taking apart a NP435 manual trans.

@@Greggsr219 I used gasoline and a scrub brush. Nest cleaning solution for grease!

Should be very similar in they way they come apart. I have a 1975 Bronco with a 3 speed and I am getting ready to 5 speed swap it!

Thank you for the feedback. What ever those steel balls are called they suck!
thanks extremely helfull, working on my 73 bronco

I have to change the imput shaft on a T-18. Just putting in a shorter one
No puller. I hope I can hit the back of it
Next time put a zip tie or a band clamp over the detents to hold them in place! That way you don't have to hold them from flying away.
Will try that next time!
how similar is this rebuild to the NP435? Mine starting to go. Grinding in gear at times. 1984 F250
It is very similar to the NP435. May be a few differences but you can follow this.

When you reinstalled the first gear/second gear clutch hub assembly, did you consider feeling for any back and forth play between the two snap rings?
Just curious, my input shaft has an identical chip like yours where the snap ring would go in. It doesnt look to be debilitating to the snap ring surface so long as I secure the opening of the ring away from the chip. I don't have a new input shaft. This should be okay, right?
Wich flywheel did you use for the t18 to a 302?
I used a 50oz flywheel from a 80s Ford truck 302 and clutch front the same year range.
@@ChampWorksGarage would that be a 164 tooth if you know?
@@gwenmadore5263 Yes thats correct!
Will the t176 t177 shifter fit into the t19 tower??
That I do not know.. I'm sorry.
I see the problem with the bearings I am going to buy a hoes clamp to hold it together till I get it started
I f***ing HATE horseshoe washers! I have pinched my fingers so many time trying to get them off. Do you have any tips to get them off.
Yeah man they suck for sure. Best thing was the pliers I bought at the auto parts store. I show them later in the video and show them in use. Makes them so much easier.
@@ChampWorksGarage where did you get them exactly.
@@legostar55 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00209ETSS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
what shop press model is that? 40:00
Harbor freight 20 ton
How close is this rebuild to a T19?
Should be very very close. Slight differences between the two but this video will help you.
What did you use for the bellhousing?
I used an aluminum 80s/90s Ford truck small block 4 speed bellhousing with the hydraulic slave cylinder mount.
