- This is crazy that I did this! Save yourself a ton of money and rebuild your transmission yourself. The T150 is a simple transmission and gives you the basic understanding of the T18, T176, T177, T4, and T5. This video is for the T150 3 speed transmission used in the CJs from 76-79 with both the V8 and the 258 engines. It is mated to a Dana 20 transfer case. This video shows the tear down of the entire transmission and all of the pieces that go into it.

Super grateful for your video. I have never done anything as intense as rebuilding a transmission before. With your video I was able to get my rebuild done myself and get my 16 year old daughter her first jeep! I have had this jeep since high school so was a special project. Thanks again for making this video!
What a cool story. Glad to be of service.
Hey cool guy I’ve been laid up from a triple fusion back surgery, but I should be up an about back to almost normal in another 5 months. I sure enjoy your videos and want to thank you for taking the time to make them. I recommend your videos to all my buddies. Keep up the great content. Thanks from Jason in Snohomish Washington.
Seriously!? That totally sucks. I'm thrilled that the videos provide you some CJ7 comfort during your recovery. :)
Keep spreading the word.
Great video. I have a '74 CJ5 with similar transmission. Although I took it to a transmission shop this video has been very helpful in knowing what is going one and time it takes to do the refurb.
Better to be informed so you can keep them honest. :)
Don't forget the CJ5 family. I'm rebuilding my T150, thanks for the video. I'll be watching the Dana 20 transfer case video as well. Thanks again!
It’s all one family. :) about 90% of the CJs are interchangeable. Reach out with questions. Glad to have you aboard.

Where did you purchase your inner synchronizing ring?
Im sure glad you made this video. Doing the tranny on my CJ5 and even with the printed instructions I keep coming back. Thank you so much!
Glad to hear it helped. Please report back with your success story :)
@@coolguy_CJ7 I just finished the T150 today. Thanks again.
Excellent. Now I want to know how the install and first drive goes…
@@coolguy_CJ7 Ok, you got it. How is the cj7 doing these days?
Really well. Got a couple things that I still need to iron out before I can call them perfect :)
Hell, I don't even need to rebuild mine but now I feel like I could do it on the side of the road! Attention to detail is on point my man. Amazing that my shifter just went out due to the retaining cup falling off...it's been a long journey w my 79 renegade w 52k
Long journey, but so worth it. Only 52k? That's impressive.
Fantastic! Here in the UK us CJ Jeep enthusiasts have to do everything DIY. This has been very educational and I thank you sir on how you have put this together. I have limited mechanical expertise however as I have already done a nut and bolt strip down and restoration on my 79 CJ7 I'm feeling confident I can do this job. Lets just hope there is nothing to much wrong with it and I can source the parts. Top banana Cool Guy.
If I did it then you can do it. Look up rebuild kits and the different gears/synchronizers online and if you can get them shipped. Then tear it apart and find what needs to be replaced. Do you normally have issues sourcing mechanical things for the CJs?
How do I find out if the reverse detent to activate the backup light switch is working?
Awesome video I'm rebuilding my T150 out of my 76 cj5 and your videos are the absolute best guide I have found. This is my first rebuild and you made it easy! Thanks for the help!
You have no idea how good that makes me feel. I always wonder if these vids resonate with anyone. Thank you for the feedback.
Getting ready to rebuild mine and I have been pining for a good rebuild video. These are great. Also doing my Dana 20 so those videos are helpful too
How did it go?
Where did you buy the rebuilt kit ? I have a 1974 and im looking to rebuilt it aswell
Nice video. Thanks!
Thanks. Just finished the Assembly and uploaded that video. It is awesome to have done this.
T150 was my first transmission rebuild. Good one to start on, they're pretty simple.
How vivid is your memory of your rebuild? What year was it? There seems to be some variation depending on the year.
@@coolguy_CJ7 out of a 76 CJ5 with a 304
@@jeepinbanditrider I'll be doing my 76 CJ5 T150 in the next month or so, did you see any major differences versus CG's (awesome) videos? I'm in the same boat, nothing really wrong, but as long as I have the D20 pulled, the trans seems comparatively simple.
Fantastic video. Hopefully you will get around to a 5 speed tear down and rebuild!
Can't promise anything, but I might to a spare T4 soon. Hopefully my wife doesn't tear up her 84 T5 transmission too quickly. :)
Hey JWCG, wanted to let you know that i recently acquired a T150 and used this video to totally dissemble it over a weekend. I'm in the process of sourcing the reverse idler gear and reverse idler hub, but all of the other gears look okay. I'm planning to source a master rebuild kit to replace all of the synchro but would have not even attempted this whished your video. Really appreciate all of the details and the knowledge nuggets along the way... Hope i can put this baby back together...lol -Mike
I love that you’ve given me a new acronym! You’re the originator for it. From this day forth I shall be known as JWCG :) and you’ve totally got this. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel when it’s up and running. And it’s ok to screw it up. Lord knows I’ve done my fair share of “third times a charm” rebuilds.
Great video thanks for going through this. And you convince me to buy a reman unit. LOL. I haven't dreaded fear of going through all that and screwing something up and putting it back in and not knowing it was screwed up and having it implode on me.
Hmmm. That is the complete opposite reaction that I was hoping for :)
@@coolguy_CJ7 ha, sorry, it is a great video, I just pick my battles with what I'm willing to do myself, your videos on are super helpful , thanks!
@cool guy - thank you thank you thank you! I rebuilt mine and caused an issue where 1st no longer works. I am convinced I did something wrong. Having good video of tear down and eventually rebuild is motivating me to go get mine out again and redo! T150 rebuilt videos are limited. AMC original training video is good but not detailed enough to find a mistake.
Are you referencing the 1960s type video on youtube? That put me to sleep and it was obviously targeted to people that know what they are doing. Not me. I'd also be interested to find out what you're issue with 1st gear is the result of. Keep me updated. I will have the reassembly video up soon.
@@coolguy_CJ7 my brother and I have cj5 both with t150 tranmissions mine is hard to shift, his will jump out of 2nd. Would you suggest us touching them or find someone else. But where
@@mikeeubank9657 Repair them your self. The 2nd gear is probably a broken tooth. The hard to shift may be that your synchronizers are worn and the teeth aren't aligning well, or your shift rails are worn. It's not a complicated transmission. If I can do it, so can you.
Early to this one. Haven’t finished it yet but it looks great. Might gimme some pointers for when I have to tear apart my T5
The T5 is definitely a different animal, but the basis of it is the same. The T5 has 2 compartments to it and many more parts because of the 2 extra gears. I have a T5 in my 84, which you may have seen on my channel, and I paid a company $1100 to rebuild it. I kept all the parts that they replaced and now looking back, it would've cost me $350 to do on my own. And that's only because I needed to replace a whole gear and synchronizing hub. Seals and bearings are pretty cheap in comparison. Next time, hopefully in 90k miles, I will rebuild my own T5. :)
Man, I thought my clip on my big bearing was broken, that's why it had two slots going in the same direction. Thank you for showing us this, ironically enough, I used a drill bit, and put a small Gap behind one part of the groove, in the cast, to allow for prying it out slightly. We're talkin a 1/16 drill hole, really just a half of a hole. kind of a groove. This worked really good, and it is excellent if you want to save the original clip, like I did. Not that those Chinese parts were bad, but that particular clip that came in the kit, it was just too damn skinny for that groove, & I like the original clip, & o.g. tolerances much better, thank you.
I guess great minds think alike!!!!
Takes a little “crazy” to own a CJ. :)
@@coolguy_CJ7 yeah but isn't it so worth it!!!😁👍💯💯💯
20:33 Put a C clamp at the 3:00 position on the retainer. Use a screwdriver and twist to get the retainer out of the groove. Slip a small screwdriver in the gap as you go around. Ring will come out easily.
Hmmm. Brilliant!! Where were you when I was doing this :)
Hey Cool Guy! Love the video and decided to tear into my T150 thanks to your instructions. I have a question with my rear bearing adapter. Mine is almost fully enclosed and doesn't expose the bearings like yours. Have you seen something like this? Also, if the gears are pitted in the teeth, should those be replaced? Thanks!
The bearing adapter or the bearing itself is fully enclosed? In regards to the gear teeth, email me at dellis6914@gmail.com with picts.
Also, what year is your CJ?
Can you replace the 3 speed with a 4 speed transmission.?? I have a 3 speed, and just not mentally Happy with it (it works fine), i've just always had 4 speeds. How difficult would replaceing it with a 4 speed be.?? And would i get any "benefits" from a 4 speed in my 1977 cj7 258 in line 6.??
Yes you can. I think the other option at that time was the T18 which I believe is a 4 speed, but incredibly rare. The T176 and 177 both mate up to the Dana 300 instead of the dana 20, so you would have to find an adapter. I have no idea if you could connect the Dana 20 to a T4 or T5. The other thing to take into consideration is the duty level of the transmissions. The T150 and T18 are both considered heavy to medium duty transmissions. The T176/177 is medium duty and the T4/5 is light duty. It's really dependent on your engine.
How’d you end up removing the bearing from the man shaft? Press? Thanks!
Sorry so long in response. Yes. Neighbor has a HF press. Be very careful to have something that will cushion or catch the shaft once the bearing is released. Last thing you want to do is chip the gear teeth.
Hi Coolguy at one point you said “ this connects to the Dana 20.... did you mean the AMC 20?
The Dana 20 is the transfer case used in the CJs from 76-79. The AMC 20 is the rear axle used on all CJs from 76-86, with the exception of the rare Dana 44 that was offered in the later part of 86 since AMC ran out of stock on the Dana 20.
@@coolguy_CJ7 Ahhh yes because my T-case is a Dana 300 I thought you meant AMC 20 but I forgot many CJ's have the Dana 20 T-case... good stuff and thanks for keeping the video's coming... i get a kick out of your sense of humor and of course the overall content that you provide is great!
where can I get parts for a T15 3 speed. Gears, Bearings, etc. ?
You can get a rebuild kit from Rock Auto or most 4X4 sites. These will include most of the gaskets, shims, seals, and bearings. Where you might run into harder to find things would be the gears, synchro rings and shafts.
It seems that Crown has various vendors that they buy from for the gears. I'd start on Crown's website and see what they have and who they sell them through. www.crownautomotive.net/
How do you check engagement of the reverse light switch?
If you have a voltmeter then you can check for continuity. I'll have to look up how to test. Stay tuned.
@@coolguy_CJ7 have checked continuity on new switch, need to know what to check inside of shift tower for activation
@@mikewixom5674 I don't think there is anything you can check. As long as it goes into gear and the switch has continuity in gear, then you should be good. I did go out and check mine and found that my switch on the 84 was dead. :(
Nice video but you really need to work on your nomenclature. A snap ring is not a washer.
I’ve been trying to expand out of “doohickey” and “thingamabob” vernacular. It’s a process.
@@coolguy_CJ7 Your reply Cool Guy is funny. Love it.
