Walkenvol Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Can't bolt a transfer case to the 2wd transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The bolt pattern where the extension housing and the transfer case bolt up is usually the same. Biggest difference is the output shaft. On some models you can just remove the ext housing and the TC will bolt up OK. On on others, it will be necessary to swap the tranny output shaft.

64 Cheyenne Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 What do you mean "adaptability"? If your talking converting a 2wd to 4wd, then a 2wd manual transmission has a longer mainshaft and tail housing, that is why it is not practical to convert a 2wd tranny to 4wd.
