Transmission
The T-18 is a heavy duty four speed with unsynchronized first gear. These transmissions were manufactured by Borg Warner and they have a cast iron case. The casting number on the drivers side of the T-18 is T-18 or 13-01. The T-18 has a 1 1/8" 10 spline input shaft and a 1 3/8" 6 spline output.
The T-98 has a very similar appearance to the T-18 except a casting number of T98. It is heavy duty like the T-18. The T-98 has a 1 1/16" 10 spline input shaft and 1 3/8" 6 spline output.
Note: T-18 / T-98 with the 1 3/8 diameter input shaft cannot be used with our adapter plate kits.
