I don't see anything that indicates the trans has damage severe enough to stop it from moving in reverse. I cannot see the counter shaft gear however. The damage to the teeth in the reverse area is...

A smart man your organizer! That Senior Chief, is how you lead a parade.

Correct Scott, the input gear or "Input Shaft" is the gear closest to the engine. In the rear of the trans the large gear with straight teeth is the First and Reverse Gear. This link will help. Click...

Nice match for the rig. They have that industrial military look. Kind of Si-Fi looking! That thing is going to be a monster.

I do see that tooth TJ. I also don't see anything that would prevent reverse. The transmission has been shifted once or twice no question about it! Lots of wear on the clutching teeth. If that is a...

I don't see any Constable catching that one! Worst case scenario you have to pay back registration fees. I don't think in Ohio you are going to have any trouble as long as the plate says historical...

Scott can you take a picture up close of the gears?

Wow I will never complain about the Ohio DMV again! There are some restrictions here also. They are not easily enforced however. Most 25 year old cars in the rust belt are not traveling a lot anymore...

gm don't you have "Historical" tags down there in God's country? I have them on everything older than 25 years. One time registration of $30 for the rest of the vehicles life in Ohio.

This might interest some of you. The 2022 Toledo Jeep Fest will include a Virtual Option this year. It looks like a good way to get a T-Shirt and cheap sunglasses! You can participate from home and...

This is going to be a sweet addition to your fleet!

It will be very interesting to see the impact fuel is going to have on the fest this year. People come from a long way away, as gm can attest to. I will be there rep-ing the flags men! Its only a...

Yes, they are in the cover. https://www.kaiserwillys.com/diagram/cj-3a-diagrams/transmission-diagrams-willys-cj-3a/t-90-transmission-top-shifter/transmission-top-shifter Item 4. I am beginning to...

gm is way too kind. I am heading for the oldest in the business however!

Scott, this could be something you might be able to see before you pull the transmission. Drain the lube and pull the...

jb I like the plan. That should turn out nice and also very functional. I have a good friend who was in the bed liner business. He went through a lot of oxygen. You and gm are going to have to get...

gm I have a sweet just built iron block LS stroker with a mild cam that would slip right in there. Hasn't even been to the dyno yet.

You are an hour away Scott. If you need help, we will try and figure it out!

That's a good puller Wulfie, you cant go after it better than that.

Scott you have done a pretty good job of pinning it down. If it is fine in all gears except reverse, as long as it is shifting all the way into reverse, I think you have it figured out.

If it goes into first without any trouble, it sounds like the teeth are busted on the reverse idler and/or the idler mating side of the 1st / reverse gear.

Before I assumed transmission damage...

Its coming along nicely! I love the axle "pile". Brings back memories.

Senior Chief, unafraid to tell it like it is! Always looking out for the troops.

Cajun, 1/2 mile down the road is as good as you can hope for!

Felipe, when you find a shop, go and visit. Somewhere there is a checklist for what is going to need to be done in a Quality rebuild....

I concur gm. I have heard the same. Sticking with someone within driving distance, is going to make it a lot easier. I keep thinking of TJ's fiasco with his engine. I drive 1 hour and 30 minutes to...
