New transfer input shaft needed- What to do?

Post by ferrit »

Pulled my transfer case apart to replace the bearings as part of my overhaul before the new engine goes in.

input shaft on the transfer case is stuffed- the hard facing is worn away, theres chips missing from it, and the spline has a lot of wear.

so i need a new one.

Now the sensible option seems to be instead of just walking into toyota and getting reamed out for a single input shaft, it would be to fit crawler gears to the case. but thats got a lot of potential to be very expensive.

I dont have too many problems with the current low range being too high- so i would be reluctant to go too deep, as it restricts your options when your running around in low range on trails.

I looked at the Locktup gears- bout $500 odd, but its a 4.7:1 is lower than i want

So i looked at marks- they make a heap of different ratios- from 4.0:1- 5.0-1, but they are $995 a set!

Id be happy enough using the standard ratio one again- but i dont really want to know what toyota charges for one! unless someone knows where you can get one aftermarket!

Help!

Where are you located?

You can buy transfer cases for about $100

Just buy another transfer case, its going to be 2nd hand and will still benefit from new bearings.

Your only other bet is to get an input shaft off somebody that has put crawler gears in.

I have 2 spare input shafts, but I`m keeping them :finger:

:lol:

i think im going to get the 4.0:1 crawlers- they are wider gears too, which will handle the extra torque of the Turbo motor better too....

But at $995 a set is a bit of a sting to the wallet! At least i wont have to take to the cases with a die grinder to get them to fit if i get the 4.0:1's too!
