sierra tcase mounts

[antt]

are the 1L tcase mounts exactly the same as the 1.3L tcase mounts?

most 1.0 litres have different t-case mounts to 1.3's, tho some are same.
my 1.0 litre mounts were a bolt through arrangement, with quite large holes in the arm, but I later used 1.3 mounts as are easier to get.
It is possible to fit 1.3 mounts if use big ass washers.

If you mean the t-case brackets/arms, early ones are very different, later 1.0s are almost the same.

Later model 1ltr transfercases commonly found in the Maruti ute are the Series 4 model which is the same casing as a 1.3ltr and have same mounts. The gears in this Series 4 model made up 1 half of the original Series 1 Rockhopper reduction gearset.

I had the later 1.3ltr mounts in my sierra and used to bust them every trip, changed them to the early 1.0ltr (bolt through rubber) then just chewed them out after a couple of trips. Most likely due to them being 18 year old bushes.

I then used Landcruiser spring bushes with a bolt through and all was good.

i shoulda provided more info. i'm lookin at mounting a sierra tcase in the vit. but i have a 1L case here, but will be changing to a 1.3 later when i get gears. so if i make the mounts to suit the 1l case, will they be close enough to the 1.3 case to not have to totally re-do them when that time comes?

[sierrajim]

use one of roc70ys rings, pretty sure they'll fit both cases.

i want to, but he's disappeared of the face of the earth, and i want this thing done asap

might have to cut my own out with the plasma. certainly wouldn't be as nice as his are

What case have u got antt. The late 1ltr case is exact the same mounting on the bolt side as a 1.3 case. eg u can put a 1ltr case into a 1.3 sierra with no mods at all (aside from flange sizes

cheers

[antt]

dunno, all i know is its a 1l, with later widetrack flanges fitted. wouldn't have a clue if its a late or early one

[nicbeer]

Do you have a 1.3 case to compare? Does it have the 4wd light switch on it.

The case is the same internally and externally for different gearing AFAIK.

cheers

it does have a 4wd light switch on it. and no, i dont have a 1.3 case here yet

Sounds like u have the 1ltr case the same as the 1.3 case.

I could prob get some pics of the arms and how it mounts onto the chassis if u need.

cheers

thats alright dude. i'm gonna do something custom. the standard mounts aer piss poor. just wish i got one of roctoys mounts before xmass

[jtraf]

even the early 1.0lt cases will mount in the same position of the 1.3lt case.....only difference is the mountin bracket not the case itself.....
I can tell you this from experience...
