If you have the 4 spd manual trans it is probably the T4 since that is the most common, but some did come with a T176, which has a little lower first gear ratio.

a guy on GL4x4 said i have the SR4 trans and dana 300 transfer case. he also said dana 30 front, amc 20 rear. he said CJ's didn't come with track bars but he didn't mention anything about why my leafs are leaning like that. any ideas roger?

going to shortly, already bought the heavy duty degreaser
Mr Rock:
X2 on what Roger said, the big round cover on the rear is the 20, the CJ's had a two piece axle that is the weak point. someone makes a one piece axle for it which makes it a much stronger unit!
The leaf "leaning" is common with big shackles like what you have on there. add to that weak rubber bushings and that CJ will dart all over the road. get some poly bushings and beef up that front mount, better yet, do a shackle reversal, it will make your jeep handle much better. I'm looking to do one on my YJ.

look at that little baby master next to the brake master that is for the clutch is it full of fluid and the grinding in the trans most likly means the trans is
dead did you drain the fluid yet look for an off colored look i believe the sr4 was supposed to take atf so it should look red
