Unfortunately yes. Without adapters only the Dana 300 will mate to a T5.
Fortunately the D300 is an excellent TCase. The T5 on the other hand is a light duty tranny.
Now if you call up Advanced Adapters or Novak they can sell you adapters to mate up all kinds of tcases to trannies. But they don't make any adapters for the T5 because it is so light duty.

Here is what Novak has to say about the T5:
If you are having trouble with the Dana 300 I say find another Dana 300.

I would like to switch my 3spd tranny for a 4 or 5 speed.
My jeep is a 1978 CJ 7 what tranny would work?

Welcome to the site Geno.
I would recommend a Jeep T18 four speed (not a ford T18)
It should be an easy bolt in swap.
If you would like more information feel free to start a new thread. Your questions may get lost in this thread about a T5.
