Hey I'm lookin to put my 68 3 spd transfer to my 76(i think) 4 speed transmission. Do I need anything to make it work or can I just slap the 2 together. Thanks

Transition gear and a bearing. search and look in tech, this is very documented.

As CruisinGA says the bearing and transition gear. You'll also need the shift linkages from a 4 speed transfer case since the three speed linkages do not work. The shift rod that the front drive fork is bolted to is also longer on a four speed and will be required.
I've been through this on the FJ55 so if you have further questions post up.
The tech archive on this by Jim Toepper has been lost! Can someone please repost it for us newbies? Do we also need a plate adapter from AA to make this work?

The only adapter needed is the input gear and the bearing. You'll also need a spacer to go in place of the pto gear. Case will bolt directly up to the tranny.

What bolts do I need to attach the xfer to the tranny?? I have heard I need the 4spd xfer case bolts for this.

I'm pretty sure I used the same bolts I had when it was bolted to the 3 speed. Not 100% sure though.
I read that the bolts were the same pitch but slightly longer. Thanks for the updated link!

True, but linkages to shift is also necessary and the three speed linkages don't work.
I put a 3-sp on my 4 sp tranny. The bolts from the 4 sp worked just fine.
BTW, will a PTO still work, or do I need a longer shaft from PTO to winch?

A PTO still works.... with a 4 speed PTO gear. The three speed PTO gear doesn't work.
When bolting a "3speed" transfer to a 4 speed tranny use the bolts that secured the 4 speed transer to the 4 speed tranny.

Why not?
Are those harder to find than a 3 speed version?
Just wondering. No money to do anything...yet.

Like they said, most 4 speed trucks don't have the gear and the three speed gear is the wrong spline count.
