  • The Borg-Warner T18 transmission is famous for its strength and durability in the truck and off-road world and was built for quite a few Ford trucks, IH vehicles, and Jeeps. We have been having issues with it popping out of 4th gear. This video is part 1 of a 2 part series rebuilding the T18 Borg Warner transmission for the CJ7. The rebuild kit came from Novak Adapters. Good snap ring pliers are a must.

    Nice video I could of used this three years ago when I did mine. It came out fine but I had to wing it for
    much of the build. Now it sits behind my 401 in my CJ5.

      401 in a CJ5 must be one heck of a ride!! Does it do wheel stands? Sounds awesome I'd love to see that Jeep. thanks for watching

    The bearing puller is supposed to go behind the bearing so as not to damage the bearing for reuse. Probably won't matter when you are replacing the bearing but I have never seen anyone use a puller like that.

      yes I'm thinking just replace everything now while the transmission is out rather than have to possibly do it later.

    Nice I am rebuilding a Ford t18 for my CJ2a project. I had the same issue with the bearing separator/puller

    I love your vids. I'm wanting to throw a t18 in my cj but I have some questions regarding where to pick one up.. looking for one with the granny first gear. Would you or anyone else be willing to help me out with a little coaching?

      80-90w gear oil, I filled it until it came out the inspection hole

      @@bryco32 I can't remember for sure, so I don't to give you the wrong info, if it was the longer or shorter input. The bell housing is off a manual Chevy transmission I picked up at a junk yard. I bought an adapter kit from Novak to mate the transmission to the bell housing.

      @@41GarageandGrill no problem. I now see the advance adapters plate and the longer input you have in the other video . That denotes it a Jeep t18 and not a Ford.

      I agree with you. When I watch it now I think i should have added more. At the time I was worried it was too much.
