drivetrain
A drivetrain (also frequently spelled as drive train or sometimes drive-train) or Transmission System, is the group of components that deliver mechanical power from the prime mover to the driven components. In automotive engineering, the drivetrain is the components of a motor vehicle that deliver power to the drive wheels. This excludes the engine or motor that generates the power. In marine applications, the drive shaft will drive a propeller, thruster, or waterjet rather than a drive axle, while the actual engine might be similar to an automotive engine. Other machinery, equipment and vehicles may also use a drivetrain to deliver power from the engine(s) to the driven components.
In contrast, the powertrain is considered to include both the engine and/or motor(s) as well as the drivetrain.
I have a 1979 CJ7 258L with the T150 transmission and the Dana 20 transfer case. The transfer case is shot, so I plan to replace it with a Dana 300. I'm also considering an automatic transmission. Looking for recommendations for the best auto to put into it and best practices/pitfalls. thanks
I have a CJ7. I think I have a T176 trans, given that the stick comes up at an angle and it’s a 4 speed with reverse down on the passenger side. It has a tag on the right side with the numbers

Is this enough info to determine which trans I have?
Thanks
I get it, I'm a Jeep owner and ad-block detectors kinda stink but ads are needed on this site. This is a CJ site, all the ads are set for autos (some times others get through.) I cannot make them just for Jeeps but I try.
Please allow ads as they help keep this site running by offsetting the costs of software and server fees.
