★ High-quality reproduction manufactured to WWII specifications. This component is often damaged by ground contact or distorted by years of load — essential replacement part during chassis restoration.

Installation notes

This is the correct version for the T84 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case as used in MB and GPW. The drop (depth) is insufficient for the later T90 transmission — therefore does NOT fit CJ-2A or CJ-3A without modifications. Transmission rubber mount (18608.01) is fitted separately. Check before fitting that existing mounting holes in the frame rails are not torn out.

Compatibility

Suitable for: Willys MB and Ford GPW (1941-1945) with T84 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. NOT suitable for: CJ-2A, CJ-3A and later models with T90 transmission — these require a different crossmember with greater drop.

Historical context

This crossmember supports the Borg Warner T84 three-speed gearbox and Dana Spicer 18 transfer case — the iconic drivetrain of the WWII jeep. Due to off-road use and ground contact, these crossmembers were often distorted or even torn off, making this a much sought-after restoration part.
