It's been awhile so my memory is foggy, but yes, from what I remember, this ignition switch connects to the rod in the steering column and it has a spring loaded mechanism which pushes the rod back against the ignition switch. I bought a new one for around $15 and now it works great. I hope this...

ag4ever, you are right. None to be found! Also cant seem to find the T176 4wd indicator/reverse light harness either.

FLCJ8, brilliant. got it. Now I guess I'll be adding OEM fog lights at some point since the harness accommodates it! Also, I think I know what the inline fuse look like. as your first diagram shows in post #71, it only has two wires going to it. All I have to do is find it and I bet that's my...

Could be the fog light relay connector but after looking it up, the oem style shows to be a cross-shaped 4 wire connector (see pic), where the one I found is a flat 4 wire connector.

Aha.....maybe it is a fuse.....I wonder how many amps?

Wow nice detail FLCJ8. Thank you very much for the schematics. I narrowed it down to a weak ground...we got noise! The old horn was bad however, I tested it by hooking it up to the battery and nothing. Spankrjs, that would have been my next move. Thank you. Almost legal! All I need are...

Great!!! So glad it’s nothing important cause I just buttoned it up!

Now onto the second issue.......time to fix the horn. Cant seem to get a 12v signal from the horn wire. I replaced the horn and the horn relay. I'll keep at it, but if anyone knows of any common CJ horn issues, please let me know. Love this forum!.....

Spankrjs, You are a genius! The ignition has long mounting holes and I just had to slide it closer to the steering wheel to get max throw (sliding action) on the ignition switch. Now it returns to the run position AND it starts! Wow. I diassembled this thing 2 or 3 times to try to fix thing...

Thanks for the info! I was thinking the same thing, so I bought a new ignition switch. However, I checked it installed it-and the ignition switch is not spring loaded. I checked the old one and that one isn't either??? Maybe I installed the rod in the wrong slot because I wasn't able to test...

So I just tore down my steering column to replace / repair some parts. I completely tore down the ignition assembly housing to install a new cylinder and lubricate the innards. Only issue is, after reassembling everything, I can't find the spring or mechanism that returns the key back to the...

OK, so quick update. First off, thanks everyone for posting the tranny and transfer case hole locations and gear oil info. The T176 and D300 have been installed and are working great! Now to other things.....I just tore down my steering column to replace / repair some parts. I completely torn...

Thanks FLCJ8!!!! So nice of you to post. Just in time, too. I just picked up the tranny mount, so I'm putting this thing in today hopefully. Thanks again!

Thank you, that would be great! Oh, great idea on using the rear driveshaft, much more stout for sure!.

Update. Well, it’s been awhile but I’ve been working on ol’ red for the last couple of months. I rebuilt the t176 that I bought from my buddy. All looked good except for the synchronizers and reverse idler gear, which were replaced, along with all the bearings and seals. I also rebuilt the...

Thanks Spankrjs, This was exactly the feedback I was looking for! I think 3.73s will be the way to go. Just curious to know what you think about the T176 holding up to a 350hp/350tq stock LS engine. I don’t plan on driving it hard, I just want some fuel economy and reliability, along with...

How quickly things change......After going over rebuild costs, modifications, and timeframe, I've decided to stick with a stock drivetrain for my CJ8. The NV4500 and NP241 transfer case are being sold so I can focus on getting this Scrambler on the road sooner than later. I am rebuilding a T176...

So after contemplating my drivetrain for the 3rd or 4th time, I've decided to build a bulletproof drivetrain along side my build. I found a GM NV4500 4x4 tranny that will need to be rebuilt and an NP241C (passenger drop) transfer case in great running shape. PIcked 'em up for $750, so hard to...

Cool thanks, how much? Got pics?

Wow....now that is a nice setup. Just what I want!
