I found a T5 transmission couple weeks ago so swapped it in to replace the sm420. I almost didn’t grab it as I wanted to keep truck as original as possible but figured having the better drivability is worth it especially on the hiway commuting to work . I kept the stock 10 spline clutch so I just had to swap input shafts and a couple cuts on the lathe and thing bolts right up . Input shaft was $130 and timken bearing was $20 . Was a much cheaper alternative instead of buying a new clutch kit and adapter plate too mount it all up . Took me about an hour to swap input shafts
Big thanks to lugnutz65 , Jay on here he gave me some great information on the T5 tranny and the jeep input shaft . Thanks Jay !
