Manual Transmission Cluster Gear Roller Bearing; with T176 or T177 Transmission (80-86 Jeep CJ7; 80-83 CJ5)Find parts that fit my vehicle

Smooth Gear Support. The Manual Transmission Cluster Gear Roller Bearing restores the precise, low-friction support your gearbox depends on for 1980-1986 Jeep CJ7 models and 1980-1983 CJ5 models. Purpose-built as an OE compatible and comparable direct replacement, it helps stabilize the cluster gear on its shaft, reducing drag, heat, and wear through every shift. This small part has a big impact on longevity and drivability, promoting confident engagement and quieter operation mile after mile.

Construction and Appearance. Featuring a raw metal finish, the bearing is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances for consistent contact and load distribution. Precision-ground rollers and a true, uniform race surface work together to minimize friction while resisting brinelling and premature pitting. Materials and geometry are selected to handle sustained temperature swings and splash lubrication, ensuring the rotating assembly remains supported under steady cruise, downshifts, and low-speed crawling.

Installation. As a direct replacement, the component integrates cleanly during routine transmission service. Use methodical teardown procedures, inspect the shaft and gear bores for scoring, and verify end-clearances as you stack rollers or insert the bearing into the cluster gear as specified. The adaptable design supports versatile installation techniques with standard shop tools; proper lubrication during assembly and careful alignment help ensure smooth rotation, quiet operation, and long-term durability after reassembly.

Application. This Manual Transmission Cluster Gear Roller Bearing fits 1980-1986 Jeep CJ7 models and 1980-1983 CJ5 models. It enhances shift quality and gearbox life by reducing friction at the cluster gear, stabilizing the gear train for cleaner engagement and reduced heat under daily use and trail work.
