Daily Driver 1 day D 18 swap

Hey Everyone
So before X-mas my transfer case made a horible noise and locked up. Been cruisin it in low rage for 3 week arangeing for Herm to send me a good one (Thanks Herm its awesome), (Herm is a great guy to do business with).
anyhow its coming out easy until i get to the topmost transfer to adapter bolt.
Couldn't get anything on it. Couldnt lower it much cause the transmission, headers. motor mounts etc only let it come down an inch or so. Finally got a flexi socket on it with the help of a u-joint an 45 minute later it was of. One bolt 45 minutes. Thngs where back to easy had to swap to my small yoke ffor front drive shaft (anybody have a small yoke front mine is toast).
Anyhow got it it up and started and it only took 30 minutes to get the bolt on so that ws better.
Switching to twin sticks. the hole was in the right place just had to coax it a bit bigger, When i realized there was no way i was getting the pin in the holds the shifters, No way. So off comes the crossmember(again) down comes the back of the trans, in goes the big pry bar got it lined up in place in the hole and i had put the wrong in in first. Wee Haw. Any how after that every thing was easy again. I love the location of my shifters. teh adapet puts em very close to the side of the passenger seat and i can reach them without dislocating my back. One of the pics shows a broken tooth. I would imagine there will be more damage when i get the pan off.

 

Glad you got it together. Sweet M-38 by the way. PM inbound on the yoke.

 

When I took the transfer out of my m38 I didnt have the problem. but mine being all stock I just removed the floor plates and everythign was right there.

 

Good Job...Cody, one of my favorite places! Spent my honeymoon there.

 

I'll check the shed. May have one of those yokes kicking around. Yours if I've still got it.

(edit: sorry, not there. Must've already given it away. What about a conversion U-joint so you can run a regular 1310 yoke on the front?)

 

Turns out he needs a complete driveshaft, not just the yoke. That was nice of ya though Dummy.
