transfer case shifter? and tail housing ?

[RBergman]

how do i tell if i have a gated transfer case shifter?



also i just seperated the getrag from the transfer case

and it had some oil in it is this normal?



lastly i am going to convert my get rag to nv4500

do i need to get the cast iron tailhousing?



truck is a 93 w250



thanks

Gated ones have to be moved sideways to get into 4lo. Non gated go in a straight line.

A little oil in the intermediate housing is not too bad. Just means the seals were leaking a little. Can you tell if it is from the t-case or transmission? Either way I would put a new seal on the t-case input. Unless you turn the coupler down you will have to remove the seal on the back of the NV4500. I used a double seal on the input of my t-case to hopefully prevent contamination. So far so good.

Unless you really plan on abusing the truck, you won't need the cast iron housing.

i just dropped off the transmission and coupler at

my machinists house so he can turn down the

coupler . i do not plan on beating on my truck

but i do use the 4-wheel drive and do tow some

I think that is a good move. Wish I had done that on mine. I think I will be fine though.
