Installing a four speed case in Bucky, the pig. I am missing a spacer that goes between the trans and transfer case. It is called an INPUT GEAR STOPPER. See pic:
Without the spacer (gear stopper), the input gear binds against the inside of the case when everything is tightened up. Bucky had a three speed case behind the four speed trans, and the input stopper is not needed with a three speed case. Switching to the four speed case, I will have to have one. It would have been nice to know this before pulling the case and reinstalling without the spacer only to find that it doesn't work! Georg does not have one. Part is NLA from Mr. T. Anybody have this part or an old four speed and case that would be willing to let me rob it of a spacer? PM me if you do.
