"I paid $600 just for a T 18 trans 15 years ago, and spent lots of hours scraping the grease off and cleaning it, then paid to have it installed."
"As for swapping in a T-18 into my '78 CJ5...I took the easy way out and had a 4WD shop do it. All up it was $900 out the door...of course, this was back in 1990!!"
IMHO unless you can do the work yourself it's almost not worth it. I was into '76-'79 CJs (collected some '80+parts to) for quite a few years. Started a project a few years back but had to give it up. $600 for a T-18 even that long ago is ALOT. But then hobbies usually are expensive. LOL I've got a T18 ('76) with a dana 300 out of a turbo diesel Scout attached and both CJ5 drive shafts I'd let go for that.
