How to Buy a Junkyard Transmission
The Borg/Warner T-18 is as famous as they come. Used in nearly every variety of truck made, the zillion different versions of this tranny make swapping a nightmare for some. Input shaft length, stickout, spline diameter, and count are all important. Not only that, but internal differences in tooth count, ratio, and synchronizer cone diameters on the mainshaft can screw you up when swapping out gears. Be careful; the earlier T-98 is nearly identical and even shares many common parts. Bone up on what you need and what you want before searching for this desirable low-geared grunt case.
