    First gear is shot in my t86 so I am going to switch over to t90 gears. Can anyone give me an idea where I can buy the entire internals that I would need? I looked at the Amix site as they list a few options for the t90 gears, but they don't list anything for the Jeepster, only CJ5, etc. I want to make sure I get the correct set-up so I only have to worry about this one time.

    I would start research with Novak.

    Novak Conversions :: Transmission Parts

    Seems like there are some mods that have to made to the shifter forks as well, that have been discussed here in the past.
    My memory might be muddled on this point.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried Herm, he is willing to rebuild the entire trans, but he won't sell parts. Since it's a side shifter that makes it harder. I don't think a t14 would work because I have a center console with the side shifter issue, unless t14 comes in a side shifter model. I will check and see what Novak offers.
