Transfer case to Manual Transmission

[Dirty325ix]

Is there any sort of flex disk in-between the transfer case and the manual transmission? It looks similar to where the other flex disks go but it is a smaller size

I am doing an auto to manual swap so I have never seen this connected before

yes. it's a 96mm disk, it's larger not smaller.

you need a manual TC although you can swap the front case half and input shaft to the auto TC if your manual TC has a fried VC or stripped front splines.

crap that suck and i have everythng for the swap except that and a few washers for my shifter

whats the part number on that.. i cant seem to find the a diagram of the transfer case hooked up to the manual transmission

so wait, the front splines on the front shaft of the t/c between the auto & manual are diff? Did i just buy an auto t/c for no reason??!

my front splines of my manual t/c are stripped on the t/c, in addition to the shaft. I'm trying to remember what the exact difference was.

and why is it so damn expensive

I think it’s where it hooks up to the transmission that’s different

I think it’s where it hooks up to the transmission that’s different

correct, but if i were to transfer the manual parts over to the donor auto t/c, would it still retain the auto front splines for the front shaft, or would my manual parts (which are stripped) be used? Hope that makes some sense

[nando]

the output splines are the same. the input shaft is different. internally, they're both exactly the same.
