be sure the reverse shift rod goes into the grove on the sliding gear at the bottom of the tranny,when you go into reverse it slides that small gear over to engage with big gear.

where are you located?i can look at it if your not to far away.

one of two things might have happened,as slimer said,take the shifter out.the top retainer is spring loaded,just push it down and turn counter-clockwise,then look down where shifter goes,all 3 of the slots should be in line which means the tranny is in neutral.if they are not in line you can move them with a screwdriver and be sure when you put shifter back in that it goes into slot.if that is all in right position and it still will not shift,the detents on the syncronizers came out of the grooves that they ride in,which means tranny needs to come apart.

the j-10 and j-20s have that 5 inch adaptor plate on it because it is a truck,but it will work,i have the same set up in a cj 5,but driveshafts will be way to long.i have done a few of these so feel free wiyh any questions.

clutch,pressure plate,t/o bearing and pilot bushing are all differant,plus drive-shaft lengths wiil change.floor pan cover is also differant.

t-5s are rated as light duty,the t-18 is the best choice, or a t-176,it is rated as med. duty.i have a t-5 4-sale but it is not enough tranny for that motor.good luck.

it has a 360,t-18a,4;10 gears,on board air and a 7 ft. plow for winter,it is just a beater jeep.thanks.

i have had much worse looking jeeps than that brought to me to work on.it looks better than i thought it would.p.s. i am finally getting caught back up{almost}so maybe by next week-end we can do your swap,lets see how things go .
