Wondering the easiest ways to identify if I have a chaing or gear transfer case. Thought a gear was 7 bolt, and chain 5 bolt, but was checking my vehicle last night and could only find 6 bolts. Any help would be great. Thanks

 

Details on the vehicle would help.

 

I thought the same thing too 87toylet

You're probably missing the bolt over/behind the driveshaft.

If you have a 4 cyl, 99.999% you have gear drive.
If you have a 6 cyl, 99.999% you have chain drive
If you have an automatic none of the above applies, as it is a TOTALLY different tcase.

 

There should be pics on Marlin's site....

It the rear of the case looks different than that - its not a gear driven xfer...

 

are you going to rebuild it? I am thinking about rebuilding mine is the reason i am asking.

 

Sorry Guys. Its an automatic 4 cyl. My buddy and I were under the truck putting a budbuilt skidplate on and were checking it out. Thats why I raise the question.

 

okay, so what t-case do us auto V6'ers have? heh.

The 340 autos use a chain.
