If you think you have a T176, might want to look again. If the numbers on the tag riveted on the case ends in 389, you have a T177. If it ends in 390, you have a T176.
While a major transmission site says T176 were put in CJ's that's not quit true. If you look at the parts manual it lists the T176 as being installed in CJ's for export in 1981. For years 1981-1986, T177's were installed.
Of course it doesn't make much difference which trans you have unless you need to replace first or reverse gear, or the main shaft.
Gear differences are
T176 (M) 3.52/2.27/1.46/1.00/3.52R
T177 (M) 3.82/2.29/1.46/1.00/3.82R
Sorry the parts manual PDF is turned sideways. Couldn't figure out how to turn it.

Not for the T176.
