Looking for a top shift, 21 spline 4.7 low range transfer case for my 85 4runner. Just checking around before I order a new one.

 

Hey- I have a trans and T-case out of an 1987 Carbed pickup. Not EFI I was told when i bought it. i have a 22RE so it prrobably is not right for me. I'm in SW Virginia. Where are you.

If you think you might be able to use it, make an offer and it will save me doing a bunch of research for what it's worth?. It seems to turn over smooth.

I have all the bolts and spline info ( on the trans at least ) written down somewhere if I can find it. Other wise, I could go look again. It's out in the country about 30 miles from me now. I think the trans is a G 52 maybe? Pretty sure it's not a W56, if that helps you think about it ?

 

I am in clifton forge va. Definitely interested if your transfer case has 4.7 low range gears in it. PM me you cell number and I'll give you a call.

 

I Don't have a cell phone right now. Lost it.

Can you tell me how to verify the 4.7 ratio while the T-case is hooked to the trans? maybe so many turns of the transmission input shaft to X number of outputs to the T-case? I know it's a ratio of the gears, but I don't know how to figure it out. I suppose the trans should be in 4th gear ( 1:1 ?) and then look at T-case output.? No shifter levers on either right now might make it a bit harder.

As I said, it's "out in the country" from where I am right now, but I will be getting out there in a few days. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I hope you are not in a rush .....?

Also, I don't see how to PM you. Can you fill me in on that too?

thanks for your interest.

 

4.7 transfer case gears did not come factory from Toyota, the factory transfer case gearing is 2.28. So unless someone has swapped in the 4.7s, most likely your transfer case is stock.

You can check however. I don't know which (if any) transmission gear has a 1:1 ratio, so the best way to check the tcase gearing would be to separate it from the transmission. In tcase HIGH, 1 turn of the input shaft should equal 1 turn of the output. In tcase LOW, 2.28 (or 4.7 if by some miracle your case has 4.7s) turns of the input shaft should equal 1 turn of the output. You can put a chalk mark on the rear output flange and on a tooth of the input shaft and crank away.

 

Looks like most of "our years" 4th would be the 1:1

Cool, well there you go then. Put the tranny in 4th and then you don't have to separate them.

 

Thanks everyone for the info. I'll put it in 4th and turn the crank and see what comes out. It may take me a few days to get to it, but I will get back to you ASAP.

thanks for your patience in advance.

TWO DAYS LATER---

Got to my place and checked the shaft rotations as planned. Trans shift-rod centered and forward / T-case left rod moved back. Result was about 2 1/3 turns of input to one output. Looks like a stocker doesn't it? Sorry about that. I think it's a forward shifter too. Has a metal cover on the T-case itself and shifting seems to be in the trans itself. ( So much to learn about these Yotas ! )

I noticed the trans has an IRON center plate. Some says that's good. Can it be moved to a W56? Or maybe it is a W56? Are there serial numbers on trannys that would tell what it is?

Just wanted to post this here in case you didn't see my edit to my last post below. In that one, I said that I did spin the shafts and it seems to be about a 2.25 to 1 ratio, and a forward shifter to boot. Sorry. Hope you find what you need.

( Darn- Jut learning 'the ropes' here on this site. I should have quoted your post. ( The OP that is...) ) (:>)
