Dont give up the ship!
Ive had my jeep down for a while too,and I know what it's like.
I always hate my jeep when it needs a major fix.Dont give her up just yet, I say find another transmission and pop that sucker in there.You will be re-bitten by the jeep bug once she is back up and running!

Hi-de-ho Far Right - Don't jump ship OR start drinking quite yet - let me have a stab at it - your info was limited but maybe your looking too far to the rear - the transmission puts a smile on your face setting in the driveway but a frown appears when on the road in travel mode? I'm not familiar with your 82, but could it be the clutch is taunting you? I'm relying upon my knowledge of drag racing, muscle cars and pro-streeting mind you, but if a pressure plate, such as a Long(Ford) or Borg-n-Beck(Mopar) style breaks a spring(what happens is 1 of the 3 fingers that contact the through-out bearing gets out of the same plane as the other 2), then when you press on the pedal, only 2 fingers are actuating properly and the disc does not release cleanly, if it will release at all. Chevy diaphram pressure plates have their own unique idiocyncrecies that would fill a book as well. Troubleshoot to verify that the clutch disc is releasing completely, 101%, between gear changes. If it doesn't, then a minor ill effect is hard shifting; the major ill effect is no shifting (sounds familiar?) When your rapped up in 1st gear and shifting into 2nd, the transmission internals need to slow down to the revolving speed that the 2nd gear syncro demands for a clean shift. If the speed slows down too far too fast (a SLIGHTLY dragging clutch disc), then kiss your shift goodby. This MAY be your problem. This MAY NOT be your problem. Your description was a bit meek on details, but since nobody else threw this out to ya, I thought I would. LBR

I've got a friend in Birmingham that has an 80 something model CJ7 with a 6 cyl, T176, Dana 300. He just had a full cage put in it aand custom bumpers. It's the lighter brown color. New Bestop. I didn't look too hard at it but it appeared solid with no dents or anything like that. I think it has Wild Countrys on it. He said he would take $3600 for it (not bad since the cage and bumpers were at least $1000).
Mail me back if you want the number.
