Just a question..Why isnt the T-176-7 as popular as say the T-18's etc??
I have one in a J-10 and love it..close ratio etc.
I'm just curious..(Secretly hoping to make them popular so somone, AHEM will make a way cool Shifter for it!!) nudge nudge wink wink know what I mean?

People want the t-18 b/c of the 6.32:1 first gear ratio. Otherwise the t-176 7 are very stout trannys. I was actually looking for one for my CJ, but came across the t-18 instead

I getcha.. I thinks the T-176 3.8 first gear..That would make sense (well for slooooooow speed stuff) I guess I can say that this 176 must be pretty tough as one of my favorite things is smoke the "stoplight banditos" around town when the kids start cruisin main.

The T-176 and T-177 are good trannys for CJs the best they put in them,but for trail use or higher HP they are very marginal at best,the T-18 is considered a truck tranny with it's lower first gear and is about twice as stout as the T-176 ot T177,I tore 3 T-176 out of mine with the stock 6 banger before i up graded mine-JC

I sold my T-18/d20 for a T-177/D300 because I wanted 4 road gears. The T-18 has basically the same gears as my T-150 with the obvious exception of the granny low, which I wasn't going to use. The T-177 is in the basement being rebuilt and just about ready for install.
