Many Ford transmissions are suitable for swaps into Jeep vehicles because many Jeeps used Borg-Warner and Tremec transmissions. Many Ford manual transmissions are compatible with the bell housings used on Jeep trucks.
Our intention is not to cover Ford drive train components in detail, but just provide some tips on what to look for in what trucks.
T-18: The Ford T-18 can be useful for parts or swap or conversion into a Jeep vehicle.
T-19: The Ford T-19 is similar to the T-18 except first gear is synchronized. First gear on Ford versions of the T-19 is always the close ratio, around 4:1.
T-98: The Ford T-98 is similar to the T-18 except the oiling is not supposed to be as good and it has a large diameter input shaft.
NP435: The Ford NP435 can be useful for parts or swap or conversion into a Jeep vehicle. It is similar to the T-18.
C-4: The C-4 is a 3 speed automatic transmission.
C-5: The C-5 is a 3 speed automatic transmission with a lock-up torque converter.
C-6: The C-6 is a heavy duty 3 speed automatic transmission.
AOD: The AOD is a 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission.
