My 4 speed transfer case bit the dust tonite when it tried to fit a broken gear tooth in between two other gears...
So this has sped up my install of a 5 gear I have in an '84 60 series.
My 40 series is an '80, built in 11/79, originally with a B engine, now a 3B from an 86 or 87 60 series. my original 4 speed is in teh truck. The 5 speed is still in the 60, i haven't looked at it, but am posting this to get a feel of the little things I have to look at.
I know I will have to do my driveshafts, but do the 4 gear shafts bolt to the 5 gear flanges? or do i take the 60 series shafts and use them, with modified flanges to bolt to my diffs?
I believe my cross member is common to both,
I know the shifter is in a different place, that's easy, right? just cut a new hole and cover the old?
umm...does the 60 series clutch mount in the same place, ie, do i just unbolt my clutch cylinder, and bolt it onto the 60 series belhousing?
anything I should modify on the 5 speed or transfer case before it goes in? Until I look at it, i won't know if I'm putting new seals and bearings in them yet.
the deal about the H55 having problems with 5th gear slipping out, Crushers has told me of a mod you do to the forks to hold 5th in, or better explained that pushes 5th farther to better engage it, anyone have experience with that?
As always any help would be appreciated...
