So in the "Clocking" didn't the T/C hang down much further and prevent the use of the Skid plate?  Just curious, not contentious. 

What did u use for your shifter?  I got a throttle cable from a Farm supply store and that worked well, but have used the Wag floor shifter as well.

Have a great week,

Jesse

if you mean the "clocking" as it relates to the speedo, we are not really talking about the clocking of the T-case, but the "clocking" of the tail shaft on the t-case.....all New Process T-case use the same clocking angle stock, as relates to the front output

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the skid plate

O K , going to the bone yard in the next couple of days to locate a transfer case. If I read the post about T C's about all I have to look for is the number of splines. The article says Eagles used 23 spline and Jeeps used 21 splines, all of them, or did some use 23 splines?

So, I may have to pull a few to find one with 23 splines, sounds good.

Desert Eagle is looking for a flex plate for an Iron Duke, any hints other then it may be a GM part.

Otherwise someone else will get that website link for you

Hopefully someone can clear up this for me, Eagles used Dana 30's, front and rear, or 30's in the front and 35's in the rear?

Most manuals say 30 front and rear, but try to find spec's for a 30 rear rear, impossible!!, unless I've been looking in the wrong place.

Dana 30 front, AMC  15 (Dana 35) rear. The axle shafts in the AMC 15 are different than the Dana 35 but the the ring and pinion and all associated parts are the same.



******How did that happen? When I clicked on this topic it was it's own thread and now it is merged with this transfer case thread. ???

I have no idea.  Maybe Steve merged it.  But, I like the kitten scenario better.

On a wierd note that random thread merge answered a question I had about axles for the Eagle rear end. Can you swap the Dana35 one piece shafts into an Eagle?
