NV 4500
This is the ultimate transmission for any serious Jeep. A heavy duty tranny found in full size GM and Dodge trucks from the nineties, it can be found with a 5.61, or in rare cases, 6.31 first gear ratio. In addition, the 0.73 overdrive fifth keeps the RPM's down on the highway.

T-18 / T-18a This heavy-duty cast-iron Jeep 4-speed was used in CJ's from 1972 to 1979. The T-18a, available from 1977 to 1979, features ultra low first and reverse gears. First gears in both the T-18 and T-18a are unsynchronized, and they are typically found hooked up to the Dana 20 transfer case. Arguably the best factory transmission found in any short-wheelbase Jeep.

T-176 The T-176, used in CJ's from 1980 to 1986, is a medium-duty aluminum-cased tranny built by Ford. These were used with the top-notch Dana 300 transfer case, and they will stand up to a V8 conversion under moderate use. The T-176 has a 1-1/8" 10-spline input shaft and a 23-spline output shaft.

T-4 / T-5 / SR-4 These light-duty aluminum-cased transmissions were used in CJ's from 1980 to 1986. Like the T-176, they feature 1-1/8" input shafts and 23 spline output shafts and are usually paired with the Dana 300. The T-5 is essentially the same tranny as the T-4, with the addition of an overdrive 5th gear and a slightly larger case.

T-150 The T-150 is a relatively strong cast-iron three-speed. It was used in CJ's from 1976 to 1979. With its tall first gear, this is not a great choice for wheeling -- especially since it is typically paired with the Dana 20. However, having reverse where you would normally find first gear is convenient for rocking your Jeep out when it's stuck. Uses a 1-1/8" input shaft and a 1-3/8" 6-spline output shaft.
