Klune's "David' model that uses a 4:1 uses planetaries manufactured offshore for Tera Mfg. This uses a 'two stage planetary' that is pressed together. If the two halves of the gear are not pressed within 0.0001" when they are loaded up, the gears will not load evenly and WILL fail. consistantly aligning two pressed components to this spec is not realisitc. New Venture did in-house test with two stage gear, and for this reason were never used in any of their transfer cases.

couple of months ago I spoke on the phone with the owner of klunev after coresponding via email with him. he actually has a 93 fzj80 and loves it. he basically said that he doesn't have the time now to investigate an option for the 80. He said that he had seen the 80 tcase and slushbox and he was concerned about adequite mainshaft support in the application. I didn't understand his concern at the time but perhaps he was refering to above
