    Posted: Jul/17/2017 at 3:36pm
I am working on gathering up all of the parts for a T5 swap in my 70 AMX. The one question I have is the correct Jeep bearing retainer that is required for the swap.
I am having a difficult time trying to figure out the correct one for this. Can someone provide a source and part number for this?
Or what is the OD, that the Ford bearing retainer needs to be turned down to fit into the Jeep bell housing correctly?
Have searched to Forum and am still a little confused on this part, so any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

Front Bearing Retainer 1982-1986 Jeep CJ By Omix-ADA

440-18885.02   

Use the part number to locate quickly on-line  (440-18885.02)

Four bolts holding the original in place, removed, added new gasket sealer and installed the Jeep replacement. Now have 2600 miles on my car with the T-5.
