FJ60 - Transfer Case Output Shaft - What's a few teeth? (1 Viewer)

[bsang]

While trying to replace the output shaft bearings, the pesky little snap ring on the front side of the output shaft pulled a few teeth off with it.

These teeth just press against the front output shaft clutch gear and don't fit into a gear to drive it, so I'm wondering if I can get away with not having to replace the full output shaft.

It's $250+ and creates a big delay while I'm up against a deadline. So what do you think? Good to go, or does it mess with the balance of things?

It's fine. Insignificant breakage.

Thanks- that's all I needed to hear

I wanna know how a snap ring broke those hardened steel teeth.
