Engine manufacturer for M151A2

Sorry Bob, but too many years have passed since I was dealing with the M151s, but in my memory I was not overly impressed with those transmissions. One of the things I do remember was that as they wore, they would howl like a banshee. I saw one Mutt get it's rear differential replaced twice before they figured out it was the tranny making all the noise.

I had one transmission failure on exercise in Valcartier. I got an MRT call that the transmission would not shift into any gear. It was getting dark as we arrived and quickly found the jeep. As always when starting a manual transmission, I pushed in the clutch, main switch on and went with my right hand to make sure the tranny was in neutral. First pass with my hand, not there. Ok then, its in gear. Tried another location, nothing. Looking over, there was just a hole in the floor where the shifter was supposed to be. I found the shifter after a brief search, on the floor in front of the back seats! Not the usual location, but I guess that is where it ended up as someone shifted into high gear and it came out with his hand.
