Transmission compatability

[Eagle]

Yes, I have the 2.5L engine.

Do you know what model trannys for the 2.8L chevy engine would work?

From what years and makes can I find this tranny in chevys?

 

Is this 2.8L the same 2.8L used in early 80's XJ/MJ?

The 1984 - 1986 Jeep 2.8L V6 IS a GM 2.8L engine. Any transmission you can find bolted up to a GM 2.8L (or rear-wheel drive 3.1L or 3.4L) engine will bolt up to your Jeep 2.5L engine. The 2.5L was engineered to share the same bell housing-to-block bolt pattern as the GM 2.8L. The only question is whether or not your transfer case will mate up to the transmission.

Excellent, thank you Eagle, thats what I wanted to know.

 

Now, your next task is to find out which of those transmissions will mate up to my transfer case. :bowdown:

The 700R4 MIGHT be 21 spline, but more likely 23 spline. (most of the 700R4s are 27 spline)

I would avoid putting any auto behing a 2.5 if you want what little power the 2.5 makes.

Yeah, I'd like to stick with the 5 sp.
