OEM Transfer Cases

[carnuck]

The Eagles all used the 23 spline transfer cases, regardless of the transmission they were used behind.

Can't say for certain, but here's the source:http://www.n0kfb.org/homepage/amc/tech/transfer_case/swap/index.htm

Some of the 4 cyl Eagles came with AX-4 or AX-5 trans which was 21 spline

I figured that sounded a little too.. conclusive to be certain.

I have an '83 w/a 258/auto. & switched - NOT 'On the fly'. It JUST 5h1trolet the bed & I need another one. I have located one out of a Kammback 4 banger, 4 speed. Is it an acceptable replacement? I forgot to ask what year Kammback. The one I had was full-time 4 WD. NO switch ('81).

If the Kammback has the ability to be shifted, they both should be the NP129, so yes, it will work. Even if it isn't a shift on the fly case, it would probably work, the CAD on the front axle would just need to be locked in. A later transfer case (85 and newer) should work too (86 had an NP128 that was one year only, but it would still work), those ones were only shift on the fly because the CAD in the front axle was discontinued.

Just to clarify the Eagles never had a NP229, those were found in the Grand Wagoneers. The Eagles had the NP129. (Same shell as the NP229 but without low range)

Thanks for the answers folks! Sounds like it's not as rare as I was expecting!

That's by bad, I fat fingered it
