Im putting in new cases into my 85 4runner (w56 trans). Im dropping the stock case tommorow, but I want to have all the parts i need to get the duals in fast. Is there a seal or gasket between the transmission and the transfer case? If there is, anyone know the napa part #?
Thanks

 

If you leave the transmission in there is no way you can get the transfercase in with that seal in there unless you have a big body lift.

Even then I don`t know.

I fought with one for a whole day once.

Maybe some of these other people might know different

 

i'd go ahead and do the clutch and throwout bearing while you have the trans and transfer case out.

i used a harbor freight transmission jack, model # 39178.
that and a concrete floor is the way to go.

 

The transmission is still in the truck, just dropped the stock single tcase and am waiting on that gasket that i need to order from marlin to put my dual cases in. Its the gasket that goes between the tcase and the transmission, right where the input for the transfer case goes into the transmission. Cant find a part # or a name for it anywhere but I asked a guy from marlin about it and they said they had it but didnt give me a # or anything.
