Willys Jeep 4 Speed Swap: Transmission Rebuild!

Willys Jeep 4 Speed Swap: Transmission Rebuild!
In this video the Ford T18 goes back together with all new parts. This is a pretty easy job and not many special tools are required. What is important to know is what rebuild kit you need. Because these transmissions were used by Jeep, International Scout, and Ford there are several variations. I go through several of the small details and part changes that you will see in these transmissions. Getting this 4 speed back together is a huge milestone for the Willys CJ3B!

Thanks for making this video, it helped me fix the issue the last person who rebuilt this transmission before me had. Very detailed teardown and rebuild

[@ronthoman7138]

You are doing an Excellent job! and your videos are very detailed. I have really enjoyed your build so far. Thank you for taking the time to document and share all of it! 😎👍

[@rrtownsend6432]

Unlike me, you didn’t have any parts left over. Thanks RT

On the 3 speeds I walk both bearings on with brass punch like you started to do. Then make sure the blocking rings aren't stuck using screwdriver to gently push back off gear cone. When tapping in bearings go slow and easy so blocking rings aren't getting crammed. I don't have the thrust yoke tool the book calls for so gentle and slow.

Nice job, should last many years and don't think Jeep will break it.

[@kenthedenstrom3452]

Thank you for such detail on doing this. I have really enjoyed all the videos and used almost everything on my build. Thanks again

Nice work getting it back together..

[@gregchiropolos9885]

Great video nice to see the T18 get some love. A heads up on the gear oil, shouldn’t use synthetic just use GL4 80 weight oil.

Great video!

[@xfactorautomotive1496]

Dang! That's a big transmission.

[@steamboat1341]

Learn so much from your videos keep them coming, look forward to seeing them.

[@jeepdoctv]

Really good details! Love the tips!

I just couldn't move my SM465 around much. Just too heavy for me, so I had this done by a trans shop. I rebuilt my d18, but again had the trans shop mount both together along with the Advance Adapter and Saturn OD.

Really enjoy watching your channel. I was wondering if you could tell me how thick the Jeep and the scout adapter are. I was thinking about trying to machine my own.

Loved the video, it's a great teacher for how to rebuild these old beasts. On the subject, I've got a bit a question/puzzle for you and the jeep community at large, I've got a Willy's FJ3 (basically a cj3 or cj5 with a van body instead of regular jeep body) which has a Willy's hurricane 4cyl motor, it's got a strange automatic trans fitted to it, but I'm trying to put on a manual, what's a good trans to put on it that has Synchromesh and is capable of reaching 55mph in 3rd or 4th gear without revving the engine too high? I'm thinking borg warner t19 (not too much modding needed) or borg warner t4 (lots of modding needed) I don't really need a crawler gear as an FJ3 isn't really made for off roading, but it might be nice to have the capability to cut across a median or field if it ever becomes necessary, as far as I know the rear diff doesn't have a very high gear ratio, I think it's the same as what was used in the Willy's panel van or jeepster. So with that wall of text out of the way, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hey great video but when you put the main shaft into the case did you hammer it to get it in? I can’t get mine to go in.
