T-18 Reverse

[78J10honcho]

where is the reverse in a t-18??? is it all the way to the right and up??
I found a j-truck I am going to nab and part out, and it seems to have 4 forward gears and reverse seems to be all the way to the right and up, is this right???

My 77 J-20 with t-18 is up to the right. I think in the 80s it was to the right and down.

:thumbsup: just wanted to make sure, it is a 76ish model truck

79 was the first year for the down to the right reverse IIRC

My '79 is down/right, so it may be the first year of that, true.

But does it matter? " Whatsa behind you no matter, we go fowad"

Well my '78 Cherokee is up and right;)

2 Versions of the T18. The common FSJ version is reverse to the upper right. It should have the 4.02 1st gear.

The one that reverses down to the right is a 6.?? first, IIFC.

All of the FSJ used T18's have the 6.32:1 first gear. The change from reverse being up by 3rd to down by 4th happened in 79.

Yeah my t-18 with 'up to the right' reverse has the 6.32:1 first gear.
