12. 1 JP001 JEEP INSTRUCTION MANUAL
JEEP T18 4 SPEED 1966 & UP:
The transmission can be identified by a case length of 11-7/8". The shift cover has a casting number of 13-01 or 13-09.
The P.T.O. opening is on the right hand side toward the front of the case, and the shift cover is mounted to the top of
the case with six bolts. The new shaft furnished with this kit must be carefully compared to the original shaft removed
from your transmission.
This adapter kit was developed for the early model Jeeps that had a short wheel base and are unable to use the longer adapter
kits. This adapter is exactly the same as the original Jeep design. This adapter is available in two different styles. One
for the small hole transfer cases and one for the large hole transfer cases. Make sure you have received the correct adapter
for your installation.
We recommend that all transmission assembly work is done by a competent mechanic. When assembling the gears onto
the new main shaft, make sure that all gears have the proper end clearance required for oiling. Warner gear had used two
different shaft designs for the spacer between second and third gear. Some transmissions will use a snap ring and thrust
washer, while others will use a built in shoulder. Both shafts are interchangeable.
The adapter plate will bolt directly to the back of the transmission using the socket head cap screws. The transfer case
must index onto the adapter plate in order to maintain proper alignment. A special stud bolt, seal washer, and hex nut have
been supplied for the one bolt that threads into the transfer case. With the adapter into position, you must install the spacer
that will locate the original output gear in the proper location. The adapter plate must have clearance over the counter shaft
and reverse idler shaft. If necessary, a small portion of the aluminum casting may need to be removed for the necessary
clearance.
The oil seal that has been supplied must be installed into the new adapter plate with the open side towards the
transmission.
A gasket has been supplied to seal the adapter to the transfer case. We recommend a thin film of RTV blue silicon between
the transmission and the adapter plate. (NOTE: Excessive silicone can cause adapter misalignment.)
