TRANSFER CASE INSTALL - ATTEMPT #1
I was having a hard time getting my transfer case installed, so I thought I was being all smart and I made these studs from some old bolts to help mount the transfer case.
But, it turns out the reason I was having trouble getting the transfer case installed is I have a pretty rare transfer case. I happen to have a 22 spline iron head transfer case. It was always my understanding that all 22 spline T-cases were all aluminum, so I never even bothered to count the splines when I removed this case. As you probably guessed, my transmission has the more common 23 splines, so that is why I could get them to go together.
So, what to do ... luckily for me I still had the damaged transmission that was from the donor Talon, so I was able to go to that transmission and remove the output shaft and then swap it with the shaft in my new transmission.
You can pretty clearly see the difference in the 22 and 23 spline count.
The details of how to swap the shafts I'm going to detail in another post, but, in short you have pop off the 5th gear cover on the transmission.
