So throwing around some options in my head. Wondering if its worth the effort and time. But my leg is getting tired of my manual linkage and shifting so here it goes.
I have a 80 cj5, T5 tranny swap, lifted 4" suspension etc.
Found out the stock auto that came in some cj's was a chrysler 999. Also that a common swap is a th350 something or other. Sorry its late......
Wondering on ratios. Looks like the 3 speed stock tranny top ratio is a 1:1 and the t5 was around a 1: .75. So i would be losing top end speed and even low end ratio as well? is there a good solution to my situation?
And also length of the transmission, im assuming would be longer than the manual causing issues with driveshaft trimming. Remembering its a cj5 so its pretty short already.
Another direction would be a hydraulic clutch possibly? Any info/links on conversions? Thanks
