The Badger Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So took the old one off as described in a tread in the tech archive. Got delivery of a shiney new one, now to fit. Do I need to take the back casing off of as described in the thread, or can I just lift and slide this new one on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ehm... We did the TB swop on the 110 in 3 hrs. 15 min. incl. a treabreak. We got the TB from Synchro and never took that back plate off. Ramp and transmission lift are very nice though - I have done it on the drive way a few times but ramp is so much easier.. Good Luck.

dirtyninety Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 no need to remove anything from the transfer box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Great, thanks for the responses. Yeah, the old one came out pretty quick, the hardest bit was taking the sound killer mat out neatly without pressing on the fuse box and moving all the carp that is sitting around in the truck. Since I had no jack or lift here I took the back off so a friend could grab the box at the top, to then lower it down to the floor. Ordered a trolly jack so I can lift up the new one to fit so that will make it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 A transmission jack adapter to go on your trolley jack is a god send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeper96 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 All these tools and gadgets are undeniably really helpful however if you do get stuck it's perfectly possibly to change the transfer box with just a trolley jack and a helping hand. Me and my dad somehow managed to do an r380 and lt230 in one piece on the floor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've found the easiest way to fit gearboxes is on my back and lift while someone else does the same from above. Transfer boxes are similar, from above put a rope or strap around both output shafts and lift the weight. Another person underneath and outside way lifts the input part of the box, get it rested carefully on the output shift, and then carefully lift twist and square the box up on the main box and they just fall together.

cackshifter Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'd recommend the stud tip to align it, and it is much more stable on a nice shiny Rocky Mountain sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I made a simple wooden cradle for mine to sit on then it sat on a trolley Jack.... slid straight on ... simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yeah, I added onto the TB case one of the oil cooler bigger sump plates, it sits pretty flat now on the ground so it should work fine with just a trolly jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 All back in now, took a whole 5 mins to lift the box on the trolly, and get it onto the gearbox. Thanks for the comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
