      Description

      Hardened Durability for Heavy-Duty Reverse Gear Performance. The Manual Transmission Idler Shaft is a critical structural component engineered to support the reverse idler gear within the rugged gearboxes of 1976-1979 Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 models. Because reverse gear transitions involve significant torque and mechanical stress, the Manual Transmission Idler Shaft is manufactured from high-tensile steel to resist deflection and surface galling. By providing a rock-solid pivot point, the Manual Transmission Idler Shaft ensures that your classic Jeep can back out of tough spots on the trail without the risk of shaft snapping or gear misalignment.

      Precision Ground Surface for Frictionless Rotation. Each Manual Transmission Idler Shaft features a micro-polished, precision-ground finish that provides an ultra-smooth interface for the idler gear bearings. The Manual Transmission Idler Shaft is designed to facilitate a consistent oil film between the shaft and the gear, which is essential for reducing heat buildup during extended maneuvers. By maintaining strict outer diameter tolerances, the Manual Transmission Idler Shaft prevents the gear wobble that often leads to annoying transmission whine and internal vibration in vintage 1976-1979 Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 drivetrains.

      Installation. Putting this Manual Transmission Idler Shaft on your Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 takes 4 hours to install.

      Warranty. There is a limited lifetime warranty on this product.

      Application. The Manual Transmission Idler Shaft fits 1976-1979 Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 models.
