I looked at a 80 CJ7 tonight that had a strange shift pattern. It is a 4
speed in a classic "H" pattern, but the reverse was to the left and forward
( ie toward the driver and towards the dash). I did not crawl underneath to
try to read any stamps on it. But I am stumped at what it would be. Does
anyone make a tranny in that pattern that would mount in a CJ? I am not a
ford guy, but does ford make one that has reverse to the left - rear?? Is
it a ford left - rear with the linkage installed wrong? Any other ideas
what it may be?



R 1 3

2 4

 

That's the typical American made transmission, made by Borg-Warner,
or Muncie shift pattern. What front wheel drive rice burner were you
thinking of?
