Do you own a WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW "jeep"? Or are you interested in owning one someday? These vehicles are pushing well past 70 years old and will need maintenance and repair. At some point your T-84J transmission will need trouble shooting or rebuilding. The purpose of this book is twofold, to show just how "easy" it is to rebuild the T-84J transmission and to perhaps allow the novice to decide whether it is better to have it rebuilt by a pro. The process of recording the rebuilding of a T-84J transmission will hopefully help others who might want to rebuild their own. Assembling the T-84J is really not difficult. There are about 58 parts, so it isn't rocket science. It's just following the steps and asking for clarification when the steps aren't as clear as they could be. So follow along as we tear into a T-84J transmission...you can do it!

The 1/4-ton, 4x4, truck of World War Two started out in the hands of the Infantry and a little company called American Bantam Car Company. Bantam worked with the Army's Quartermaster Corps to produce the pilot model that was accepted and then fulfilled their initial contract for 70 trucks. During testing of the pilot both Ford and Willys-Overland were invited to check out this new vehicle. The vehicles were studied in great detail. Soon, at their own expense, Ford and Willys-Overland submitted pilots for testing too. This book covers the production prototypes--Bantam BRC-40, Ford GP and the Willys MA.
