Need TC, newer one work in a 92? (1 Viewer)

[slambson]

My transfer case in my 92 is on it's last legs so I've been looking for a replacement. I've found a few but both from 93's. What would it take to bolt up a newer transfer Case? What years would be compatable?

Anyone rebuilt a 92 TC and know what the cost would be?

is it your TC that busted your TC?

I think you should just find one from a 91 or 92. The 93 is a different TC attached to a different transmission attached to a different motor. Also there is a viscous coupler in there to add to your fun.

What t-case does the 92 have?
In my FSM it shows two t-cases. HF2A and HF2AV
The V is the viscous coupler and its on vehicles with ABS.
Are there any 93/94 with out ABS and the VC in the USA?
If so and its the same length as your t-case, it might work, if you could find one.
A new one is $2000.

Where are you at? Our semi local salvage yard has a few. He's a real jerk to work with, but I think he has 5-6 80s right now. Barger Mateson in Twin Falls, Idaho

Pocatello, Twin is not too far (2 hours). I believe this is the yard I tried to pick up a Saab tranny from. That did not turn out all that well. Would you have a number handy? Are they pricey?

The LC is not dead yet but there is about an 30 degrees of play in the output shafts and it's whining at highway speeds.

O.k. call me dense but I did not get this one.

is it your TC that busted your TC?

What t-case does the 92 have?

Mine does not have the VC nor ABS. From some of the past threads I recall there being some 93's and 4's without ABS and subsequently the semi floating rear end. I'm not sure if that corresponds to the Transfer case or not. I have no problem with the VC. Loved it in my Subarus.

What t-case does the 92 use, HF2A?

What does it take to fit a Tcase w/o a VC to a '95-'97? In case I want the true 2wd functionality some day.

 

[lagwagon]

I have 3 of these transfers to sell but I have never seen one go bad. They look UPSable. PM me.

What t-case does the 92 use, HF2A?

FSM says HF2A, high speed range 1.000, low speed range 2.488

My question in reverse. At least from the manuals they look similar. My biggest concerns are with the I/O stuff, Speedometer gear, Lock solenoid, that kind of stuff.

You guys don't like the VC?

My wear is probably from improper maintenance. After picking it up I went through the fluids. ATF in the transfer case is probably not the greatest idea.

Should I just run it? I hate to have it leave us stranded somewhere, especially the wife. That would not be good. ;p We use it as a DD still.

Anybody know what typical play is between the two output shafts?

 

[landtoy80]

If it calls for a HF2A then any HF2A should work.
As for the VC. They do a good job. I thought mine was bad but I had a heat issue which locked up my VC.
Call http://www.cruiserparts.net/parts/fj80.html and ask them if the HF2A and HF2AV are the same length.
Does the HF2A have a locking diff? If so then if the actuator as the same I don't know why the HF2AV wouldn't work.

UPSing a t-case;
UPS killed my first t-case.The studs on the flange pushed into the case. They damaged the studs on the flange on the second one. But not enough to worry about.
If you do UPS or other company, make sure you put enough washers and nuts to keep the studs from being pushed into the case. You want to protect the threads too.

What is wrong with your t-case anyway? Is it really bad ??? Explane what your problem is.

 

[cruiserdan]

They are not the same length.

What I feel is an abnormal amount of play on the output shafts. About 15 degrees when twisting either driveshaft. Starts 'humming' at about 45 and at 65 it's readily noticable.

With quick throttle changes there is noticable clunk on either decel or accel. Birfs are in decent but not best of shape. Difs are in good shape. Flange plates are in good shape also. So I believe the major slop is in the TC which a physical check verifies.

I am assuming the play is 'bad'.

TC has mobil 1 in it now.

ATF is not that good for the t-case, you may of messed up the internal bearing and the cross shaft. The out put shaft housing of the t-case is different lengths. I beleive the rear drive shaft is different lengths. the front drive shaft is the same length. Either will bolt up to your transmission. but if you bolt up a never one (HF2AV) then you may need the drive shaft shortened (do not know really). The only difference between the two is the rear output housing that incases the viscous coupler. You do not need the abs to work with the viscous coupler. either will bolt up to the tranny. later robbie

The guy is a jerk. Be forewarned.

 

[landtoy80]

So you could swap a HF2A for a HF2AV as long as you shorten the rear driveshaft OR use a rear driveshaft from a FZJ80, right?

So when ordering a used HF2AV, get the rear driveshaft too, right?

The actuator is the same, right?

I sound like a ham, over.

If this is all "right", then the HF2AV would be a good upgrade for one with a trashed HF2A, right?

 

[robbie]

good is a matter of defination for the user. If you wanted the function of the viscous coupler then it would be a upgrade, if not it is not a up grade.. It might be a good idea to get the drive shaft at a resonable price or just have the rear one retubed with .120 wall to make it stronger when you shorten it. later robbie
everything else is the same.

 

[landtoy80]

If you are getting a new t-cace, they both cost the same.
If used, a used HF2AV might be more eaiser to find.

Just for the record, I did not put the ATF in but the previous owner. It looked fresh but I have no idea how long it had been in there. Looks like I just need to pick up the rear drive shaft and I'm good to go.
