People have been asking me to link the puller that I used: amazon.com/shop/paulcangialosi

I would never had tackled this project, untill I stumbled upon these videos! Just rebuilt myT176 out of my 1984 CJ7 304cu, 2 of the shift keys were missing in my 3-4 synchronizer, they were in there but not where they were suppose to be! On the magnet in the bottom and broke in half, rebuild went flawlessly thanks to you! Thanks so much

I keep coming back and watching these videos again and again. Please show Rhonda some more, Thanks for all the hard work Paul......

This video is going to save my ass and money! This is amazing, my Jeep will live again!

Thank you Paul for investing your time in filming these badass videos!

Thank you for making videos. I was able to rebuild my trans thanks to these vids.

Beautiful video Paul, much appreciated! Like I always say, your videos should have 10x the views it does. Cheers from Australia

Nice, another very interesting video, thanks Paul!

You're in West Palm Beach?! Cool. Thanks for the video. I have a 1964 Ford F100 3 OTT. 1st is hard to get into and reverse will fall out. Was told that it was the brass blocker rings. Thanks for the video.

Best video ever! Thats my gear box.Thanks Paul

Can you do a video on the T170-FT overdrive.

I am waiting for upload part 2, because I am still fixing this type of gearbox, thank you

Nice, very informative. Hope the next one doesn't take 3 months... that would just be cruel... ☺

hi your videos are very helpful, thanks to you i have serviced my jeep T-176 gearbox, i have replaced everything except the gearbox gears, i have a problem, the first speed jumps out, the forks are ok

Hi Paul, you did put the spacer back on the rail, my mistake. Again, thanks for the video.

Good job and very good explanation.

A+ Paul; I always love your work.

Well done Paul as usual. I think i'm going to hold off for a bit on the app. My android version is low 4's - new fone time. And it may give me excuses to spend cash i really should not. Rule : Old out before new in. Have a good.

interesting videos !

Excellent work..

Thank you! Great video!

Thank you so much for these two videos and the ones for the Dana 300! Very clear and well done! Having them as reference has given me enough confidence to start rebuilding both. I do have a question. The output shaft of the transmission is showing some wear on the drive side of the splines. The wear is less than the thickness of a fingernail, maybe half that, but is clearly visible and can be felt. How can I tell if this is too much and I need a new shaft?

nice lesson, unfortunately I saw this video late and I had to learn by myself

great video great content thank you

Where can I buy new input and output shafts? I made the mistake of taking the unit to a transmission shop I was unfamiliar with and this guy melted the bearing onto the input shaft, so now the bearing is stuck on the input, which was removed. I'm picking it up from him tomorrow with output shaft and bearing still attached, although he melted that bearing onto that shaft as well. I should've just bought the puller assembly.

Thanks!

I'm rebuilding my t 176 with a novak kit. There are the plastic thrust washers. What do I need to look at for the old ones taken out to be reused and would the plastic be OK? My first rebuild on a transmission. Thanks Ron

Awesome Vid thanks so much

The inside of that trans was horrible the T-18 I recently swapped in was clean as new man did I get lucky the Teflon inserts on the shift forks had zero wear and had no nasty sludge or burnt oil I'm telling you I got lucky since I bought it from a wrecked truck in a salvage yard it was a Granny compound gear 4 speed and it was damn clean inside.

This is sooooo helpfull 👍🏻

I have one of these in my 1985 F-150 but it isn't a T176. It is a T170FT-RTS 4-speed overdrive. The T176 was a Jeep transmission only though. Ford had different versions. Also not just the Broncos had them. F-150s and 250s with the 300, 302, and 351 (the 351 versions had a taller first, second, and overdrive gear and are very rare)

Paul have you got any videos of you rebuilding a AX.5, or AX 15 Jeep transmission?I got one that needs rebuilt. I just trying to get some info, thanks a lot

what rebuild kit do you recommend? reviews about the crown one say it has the wrong input bearing

i found the small parts kit you used (or something close enough), but was wondering if you recall where you got the top cover and boot/spring/ball socket kits. i just got my rts out of my ford today, and would appreciate sharing! thanks for the videos on this rebuild, i've watched parts 1 and 2 at least three times each, and will have the video handy as i work through my rebuild. thanks again!

Amazing videos, thank you so much. One question - what is the preferred way to clean the gears/case? I've watched you mention blasting in your other videos but what should the shadetree/basement folks be doing to make sure we don't rust up our gearset?

Im looking to see what's going on with my t170 in my e150 van. The input shaft has play up, down, side, to side, but in and out is perfect. Im thinking it's the imput bearing. Ive rebuilt a t5 using your videos and book. Im curious if the t170 is more similar to this t176 or your top loader video. My shifter is on the side and almost looks identical to a top loader

Hi Paul, I am converting my 1994 Vette from 4L60E to a ZF 6 speed. It's quite a project. I hear you must use certain lubricants like BMW engine oil. Can you do a short video on why these syncros are so sensitive to this or any information on the nuances of the ZF S6-40 would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Paul, Thanks again for your videos! See that you made these a few years ago and hope you are still replying to commits/questions. Totally rebuilt my '86 CJ7 T176 using your videos. All looks and spins good. When I install the front cover with the input shaft seal I can no longer spin the the shafts/gears, is this normal? Obviously the first time I have rebuilt this trans or any trans in recent history (since high school)! Thx, Mark

Well how about that. I will watch this video to see if there is an answer to my shifter popping out of the rail in 4th gear. So replace my cover?

Another great video, what do you use to clean the gears and shafts? They looked 100 times better at the end!

Thanks for the speedy reply! Before I tear the trans apart again there is about a 1/4" gap/movement on the bearings in the housing. I noticed in your video that there was play like this, just wondering if I do not have the bearings seated all the way? Did it as you showed in the video. Have all the snap rings installed on the bearings and assume that would indicated the bearings are where they need to be?? Thx

Hi Pual, thank you for replying. In the video, you forgot to put back the spacer that goes on the shifter rail. Is it necessary, cause I didn't put it back either. LOL. Will the tranny shift normally without it? Love the video, couldn't rebuild my tranny without it, thank you!!

Fabulous video! I am starting in the next week or so to rebuild one of these T176"s. Do you know if the bearing splitter/separator from Harbor Freight will work for this?

i have a 80 jeep cj7, i think it has this trany in it, it will not go into first gear what would you look for first? could it be something simple that could be fixed without taking out of the jeep, i may be able to take the top off without removing from the jeep but im not shure yet??

Paul, great videos. You are my go-to-guy. My T-176 pops out of 2nd gear. I pulled it apart and found the 1-2 shift fork is worn and the 1-2 synchro hub seems a little sloppy when engaged on the 2nd speed gear. When the 1-2 hub is engaged on 2nd gear, should there be any play in the outer hub where the 1-2 shift fork sits? Or should that 1-2 synchro hub be rock solid?

Hi Paul, Thanks for the very informative video. I have been searching for a Ford Toploader rebuild video for quite some time and decided to watch your Jeep vid in desperation, not knowing that the two are very similar inside. Can you please recommend a supplier of a rebuild kit that contains quality bearings and parts?

Followed these instructions carefully using the rebuild kit. The engagement teeth on the 2nd speed gear and 1-2 synchro hub still looked fairly sharp and pointy. The unit is now quiet, but there is a "ratchet sound" and "hesitation" when shifting from first to second gear. All other gears shift smoothly. What did I do wrong?

I found a T170 4x4 trans. I want to adapt it to my Flathead 8ba for pickup with open drive shaft. I assume i need different rear housing and output shaft but not sure. Any recommendations? Great video by the way!

Following up on your suspected shifter issue for the "ratchet sound/"hesitation" when shifting from first to second gear after rebuild. The case had minimal wear, has new 1-2 fork, new shift cane and hardware. I'm stumped. What did I miss?

What gear oil do you recommend for this transmission? GL5 or GL4?

Nice videos....but my hands don't envy yours ;-) What trans fluid do you prefer to refill with when you are done....and how much does the SROD hold? I'm getting ready to work on mine from an '82 Mustang GT

My front bearing is really lose, easy to pull out. Is that good or bad? Plus the main shaft has a little movement, is that ok? Thank you

I've rebuilt the T-176 and it still does not shift smoothly from first to second. Does that mean the problem is worn second gear engagement teeth or rounded 1-2 synchro hub teeth, or both? Do you recommend pulling it again and replacing 2nd speed gear and 1-2 hub?

This video made mi think up a "half of topic" question: Whats the best soap to remove oil, grease and other dirty stuff of your hands without destroying your skin? Maybe even make a video on the theme of after the job is done products. Like cleaning the shop, your tools or even your gloves. What works, and what's cheep and effective. I've heard kerosene is suppose to be good, but it's very flammable. Do you wan't to clean your bench with it? Just a thought.

Nice!! (as usual)

I have one of these out of the truck right now and am not sure if I should rebuild it. The input shaft has a little wiggle and if I lean it backwards, oil leaks out around the output shaft. Are these things normal?

Hey, hoping you can give me some advice. I am rebuilding a jeep T15 and the coating on the shift forks is coming off. I haven’t been able to find any fix nor replacement forks. Do you know if they are the same as in a different trans? or can I run em without the coating? or is there a coating I can re-dip em in? Thank you in advance!!

Have one of these top shifters on a mustang 4 speed in an early bronco. It does not have any neutral bias to keep in in the 3-4 gate when in neutral. The shifter will flop freely back and forth from 1-2 to 3-4. Is this normal for these?

I need to buy a top cover from you T176, 4 speed transmission

What would be a fair price to have a T177 rebuilt using my case? I've been quoted $1,150+labor to reinstall the trans. Does that seem a reasonable price?

There was a spacer on the reverse fork when you removed it but you did not replace it when you reassembled the unit. I left mine out also, does it need to be installed?

Do you have a good source for a replacement throwout bearing retainer that is on the front that goes around the input shaft on the front? I may have some wear on mine, not sure yet until I get it out. Looking for options if I need one. Thanks.

What would cause the 1-2 shift fork to show wear on both sides? The other forks look fine.

Hi Paul , great video mate. i have a jeep CJ10 Australian delivered modle. It has a t 177 box in it and yes i'm in Australia. How can i buy parts from you mate?

Where can I find the thrust washer your installing @ minute 14:02 in desperate need of name or part number

Looks kind of like a Muncie!

my t176 in my cj has had a noticeable growl for awhile with the clutch pedal up if you push it to the floor it gets quite . I changed the gear lube with gl 4 and it helped some there were no shavings or metal in the old lube .The trans shifts fine when cold but after 10 min of running it starts to stick in gear , so throw out bearing or trans main bearings bad ? I need the guru's expert opinion . thanks

I'm about to have to rebuild my t170 in my 1981 ford e-100. 3 speed with overdrive, iron case, side shift linkage. Is this transmission fairly similar? I'm getting kinda intimidated. Mine has alot of play in the input shaft and a little in the output shaft or else I'd leave it alone.

Good video sar daigam pill sar

Paul, what is the role of that spacer on the shifter rail, that is lose and slides back and forth.

Also, do you still have the new die cast covers in stock and how much are they?

At 29:10 of your video. I need the detent parts. Any idea where I can get them. Thank you

Could that cover be used on an early Mustang (car) toploader?

Could you put t170 gears into a T176 case? I want to add overdrive to my 81 Cj5

Great videos. Subbed Can you do NP435 for us slow truck off road folks?

Do you have a video on Jeep/Ford T18 rebuild?

Is there àny tranny to 1950hudson without adapter to fit on 232 bell housing

Just took apart a t176 and found that the interlock disks are missing, where can i buy them? I can't find it anywhere

What would cause the transmission to fall out of 1&3 under light load?

Hello. My T-176 pops out of 3rd gear. Do you have an idea of what can be?

i have watched this video a few times and also researched a bit online, but cant seem to find out how to remove the shifter housing from an SROD and take it apart, any advice or links maybe?

I have a lot of issues with my top cover it was disassembled on the jeep when I purchased it. Can I mail it to you?

Paul....I have a 1980 CJ 7 with a 4 speed manual that started popping out of gear on downshift right when I picked it up new. I sold it quite a few years ago....but now have a chance to “re-acquire” it. I know that Tran still pops out of gear. Can I fix it?

Looks like the gear oil was cooked.

Hi. Do you have a link where i could buy the cover at 30:36 ? Appreciate. Thanks

can this 4 speed safely handle 300 horsepower with 33 inch tall tires in a 2500 pound jeep? i was thinking of swapping to this , but not it its gonna break under 300 horse

Trying to find a tranny too a 1950hudson 232motor tobolt motor with no adter in 1947 Hudson any tips what fit

Why don’t u buy any snap on pullers ?

🙂
