Sorry guys for the 1 pic. Good news is that all you have to do is remove rear tail shaft remove the 15 10mm hex bolts and the transfer case splits with no special tools. All components just slide out VERY easily replace chain assemble and off you go.. Maybe a 1hr job for first timers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil was fairly clean and those marks on the inside of the transfer case that look like metal shavings are actually just the cast marks. There is a 3 pinion planetary style gear set which is built also really tough well at least a hell of a lot stronger than whats in the ZF 6 speed. I dont know what other guys are breaking but if you seen how well made these cases are inside including the thickness of materials used you will easily see without being a metal expert that they could handle a damn lot more HP than the box. Iv seen whats inside the ZFs 6s and 8s including the USA modeled cars (which are stronger built than our Australian version) and this is a hell of lot stronger than the rest of the drive train.Apart from the chain... ow and the allen key that's jammed in it.There are a few custom chain manufactures out there but until the new one goes Im not stressed about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could shape something up and just bolt it through the case pretty easily Id say. Plenty of meat to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 03/07/15 01:32 AM Share Posted 03/07/15 01:32 AM Do you think they don't use a tensioner coz it can move in both directions(reverse)? Coz when the side with the tensioner became the load side it would want to straighten out potentially breaking the tensioner? Seems odd not to use one? Surely a heavy duty chain like that hasn't stretched that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no wear on the sprockets or shafts or any of the roller bearings. In reverse (unless Herrod tuned) you dont get full throttle. (Iv tried lol) So you only need Derlin on the slack side (in forward mode) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more Engineers or I mean accountants of manufactures that spend more time on new cars ensuring that items wear out evenly and completely rather than designing the car. After the early 70s that's how every manufacturer operates. Otherwise they go broke. No body will buy new cars or parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
