I'm rebuilding my transfer box (38 mm idler from behind a 10.85+ H55F) and find a lot of slop in the high-range gear on the output shaft.
I see that transfer boxes from behind an automatic transmission have caged needle roller bearings in the high- and low-range output gears instead of the sintered bronze bushes. Seems like a far better design.
Has anyone swapped from bush to bearing? The output shafts, and gears have different part numbers, so I suspect it is not a simple job of pressing out the bushes and sitting it on bearings.
