HELP: Transfer swap not working

I was swapping my transfer out to replace it with one which I thought was exactly the same. Everything lined up fine and when we went to bolt the drive shafts back up the holes didn't match.
They both have the 4wd light, Its not a 1lt transfer as far as im aware. What could be the problem??
Urgent, I need the car on Monday
The car is a 88.5 WT and the new transfer s out of a 94ish WT
Help appreciated

not sure but maybe the 88.5 has NT flanges,possibly been swapped at some stage ??
swap the flanges or clock the shaft 45 degrees & redrill the flanges.

drill new holes in between the existing ones that way you have a multi fit transfer
i did it on my 1.0 to 1.3 diff swap

The w/t has two different bolt patterns . Either drill new as suggested or i would just swap the outputs off the old case to the new case .

i thought it was 1.3NT and 1.3WT that was the difference. maybey your truck wasn't a WT when it came out from factory.... nice work on the mag shoot btw

88.5 have narrow track flanges sized flanges.
The quick and rough way is to get 1/2 a set of NT driveshafts, or swap the flanges on the case.
The flanges can be swapped without any effects on seals or preloads - even the FSM explains transfer flanges can be removed and seals replaced with the case still intact and in the car.
