Complete T18 & T19 Transmission Packages
One of the very best four-speed transmissions ever is the Borg Warner T18 .
Novak's T18 (or T19) is professionally and meticulously rebuilt. We use the best components, including bearings, synchronizers, bushings, seals and gaskets built by our T18 specialists and experts. Any required updated and improvements are performed.
A new, unbent transmission shifter cane is included and ready for the installer to bend to the particular application and driver's preference (if you wish you use your factory stick, let us know and we'll apply a discount).
The Rebuild Process:
We start with a great core transmission and do a full disassembly and breakdown. Detailed parts inspection and measurement are performed. The main case and top cover are hot-cleaned, media blasted, primed and enameled with a tough, industrial grade finish. The top shifter cover is fully rebuilt with new springs, poppets and hardware. Full gearbox reassembly using all new bearings, bushings, synchronizers, snap rings - all consumable transmission parts - are replaced and new hard parts are installed wherever indicated. A new reverse switch with simple spade style terminals is installed. your transfer case and bellhousing (if available) are installed and configured. The transmission undergoes a 24 hour leakdown test, after which it is fully stress-tested through its full operational range on our 300 HP test stand.

Factory Style Build vs. Adapted Build
Our factory style builds are OEM style replacement transmissions that may require the use of the vehicle owner's
original tailhousing (either 2wd or 4wd) to complete the installation.
Adapted builds are designed
primarily for installation into Jeep vehicles and include the installed aftermarket Novak mainshaft, adapter
kit, rear mount, and pilot bushing as indicated for
the customer's scenario.

We can also do a full rebuild of your Jeep transfer case if you would like to ship it to us. We can provide any upgrade components for it that you wish. It will be pre-installed to the transmission and ready to lift into your Jeep.
Bellhousing Compatibility
For typical adapted builds, we will also configure your front input section for a variety of OEM or conversion bellhousings including:
- Ford Small or Big Block bellhousings
- GM 4-11/16" bore bellhousings
- GM 5-1/8" bore bellhousings
- AMC I6 (258 & 4.0L) & V8 bellhousings
We can often source a bellhousing or use your particular Ford, GM or AMC bellhousing as required. Conversions to AMC bellhousings can include necessary machining for Crank Position Sensors (CPS), face pockets (if necessary) and the bellhousing rear face bolt pattern. The pilot bushing is included as specified.
