Specs

Much of this info was gleaned from a Jeep site..

T-96 (1956)
T-86 was a heavy-duty option only behind the 196cid, stock all got T-96.
T-96 used also in Jeeps (CJ2->), Studebaker sixes, and early Falcons.
T-96 and Borg-Warner aluminium automatics have the same spline and are the same length.
T-96 shaft length is 6.5"
T-96 came in 2 models for '70-'72, the H for 199, J for 232; both only in Hornet & Gremlin. T-14 was used in all others with the 232cid.
T-96 models are distinguished by different letters. These indicated a "minor" internal change, sometimes a different gear ratio, different bearings,
etc. Cases remained the same for a number as did overall internal design.
T-96 is not exactly the same for all these years, there are different versions that have slightly different internals.
T-96E over-drive '64 has the 1.830 second gear, even though it is not a twin stick.
T-96F '66 has a bigger front bearing and synchro rings than the T-96E over-drive does.
T-96E over-drive case has a bigger hole in the back than T-96F.
T-96F has the rear bearing in the case, not in the adapter like T-96E. The rear bearings are the same though.
T-96H might also be the same tranny as T-96, just an indication to differ it from the J series. (?)
T-96J was only used by AMC (much harder to find parts for).
T-96J was used in Rebel & American in '67 as well as '70-'72 Hornets & Gremlins.
T-96J is a heavy-duty version of the T-96 with a larger larger first hear (3:01:1 vs. 2.60:1 in T-96), a larger front bearing, and a larger mainshaft.
The standard gear cluster should fit the J model as well. Output shaft also seems to be the same, but it may be larger.
T-96J Some were prone to premature failure due to improper hardening of internal shafts circa 1971.
T-96 and automatic BW M-37 have the same number of splines.
T-96 and automatic BW M-35 also have identical universal yokes.
The T-10 '71-up used Small (diameter, thinner) bearing cap, with the 11 inch clutch with short through-out bearing. This was also the
same bearing that T-96 and T-14 used.
A complete T-96 w/OD is 18-3/4" long from front of case to end of tailshaft housing. The OD unit is the same for all.
AMC used a multi-pattern bellhousing from the late 70s-'83 which had patterns drilled for T-96,T-14/T-4,T-5 & SR-4.
