Broken transfer case........ (1 Viewer)

Kurt-Is it possible to mate a split case to an SM420? THat would be a very desirable combination as I think of my 3 speed case as the weak link in my FJ40s drive line.

Yup, as James described, the AA adapter is the only one in production. I have seen a couple "home-made" (guys with machine shop access) plate style adapters. I have a customer that comes in from time to time, he bought a truck with the setup in place... pretty neat. Not sure what drawbacks the plate has compared to the cast housing AA offers. I have sold several of the AA units, never a complaint with the exception of price and driveline loss...

I currently have an SM465 coupled to a 3 speed case via the long spud shaft AA adapter

Mulling around options at the moment, no Atlas in here, too many mods.....

SM465 + Orion = dang low........$1500

Got a sweet 73 rebuilt case I can slap in quick.....FREEBIE

Got a Turbo 350/and both adapters so I can use either a 10 spline or 19 spline cases..........$600

Where's the tech? ;p

New method for disassembling the transfer case without removing it from the transmission first.

please tell me you had drained all the floaties from CM from the fluid....

hehehe

That looks like a good time....


Something about monkeys and a football....




Atlas it Butch....and don't look back!

I am glad I did.



Wish we were not so far apart...

Requires swapping a rear axle, custom lengths, custom drivelines, etc...

Go ORION or Split T/C...

couldn't you put a minitruck rear axle in, and shorten your own driveline, I can find rear axles lying around, and a better transfer case for $100, it's toyota parts that are expensive.
I'm just curious, it seems that toyota transfer cases are pretty fragile, at the orion seems to have a lot of trouble. most people have spare rear axles out of something withing easy reach, so why not if you have a chevy transmission not use a chevy transfer case.

the only viable GM t case is a 205, it has an anemic low gear ratio, and the OEM adapter is long, then I would need a centered rear axle, and nobody I run with wiill have spares so I'd better build it stout, and it's a never ending deal...........

1-piece Toyota T-cases are pretty fragile, the later Split-cases and Mini/4Runner cases are much more stout. The mini-truck axle has its downfalls, smaller ring gear, etc. Cost can really hike when you start talking narrowing a domestic axle, etc...
