Just buy a later model transfercase and swap it over its cheaper then buying the parts to fix the one you've got

[aaronstevens]

Sorry about that guys I only just figured out there was another page ahahahahah

[aaronstevens]

Just one more question . May sound stupid, but Will a t case out of an auto , fit in my Manuel ?

[klutched]

Nope..

[aaronstevens]

starting to get pissed off , cant find info anywhere on the net ! sorry for bugging you guys .
I own a grand vitara 98 2.0 manuel, so do I just ask at wreckers for a gv 2000-2004 transfer case , is there any variations between the year models/engine/transmission
thanks a lot guys

[Zook_Fan]

It's a 2L so the auto might fit it actually. Darkhorse has the 2.0L and has put a 1.6L transfer into his, but it's not a GV?

If you get a late model one I don't think it will fit, the transmissions are different from a H20a to a H25a and the transfers seem to be different too. You should be able to get any early model vit case and fit that.

This adds to the confusion: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=46656

haha it does add to the confusion, im just confused as to what gearbox I need to buy to change out the current one , with minimum dramas haha , cost isn't a big issue . But if I could just pick up a 2nd hand transfer case it would be perfect! if anyone has any info , would be much appreciated.

"I meant to say transfer case in the first sentence not gearbox "

[Joe]

Aaronstevens can you post up up a pic of your transfer case?
I have a swb grand vitara 2.0 with auto gearbox and the transfer case looks the same as my old 1.6 vitara

Mine's a manual and I'd be keen to compare all three.

[Zook_Fan]

2.5 is different, as shown in the link I provided. The extension housing is longer, I don't know if they can be swapped I am going to check if the splines are the same this weekend comparing a 2.5L manual transfer with a 1.6 reduction gear input.

[aaronstevens]

Ahh interesting , so a 1.6L may fit my car ? You just want me to hop under and take some photos joe ?

[Zook_Fan]

Yes take a photo. Yes a 1.6L should fit your car I believe, a photo will confirm that.

[aaronstevens]

[Joe]

It looks the same as a 1.6 case to me.....it's to dark outside atm for me to compare to mine but ill check in the morning

[Joe]

Just had a look at mine and it is the same as the one you have so i reckon you will be fine to use a 1.6 vit transfer

However there are two different transfer cases for 1.6 vits from 95/96 suzuki changed the rear tail shaft yoke to a different spline so you want a later model case
Or if you get an earlier case you should be able to swap the yoke onto your tail shaft (i'm not 100% sure on this one so someone else might chime in on this bit)

[aaronstevens]

Ahh sounds good so i need a 94 or below ? And it should just swap over ?

[aaronstevens]

Or do I need a 95+ ? Sorry a tad confused, I'm not too keen on messing with my tail shaft .

Mate, the answer is right there if you read more than the first few words:

I am just checking ! Sorry dude , does a Manuel and auto gearbox differ the transfer case ?

[Joe]

Manual and auto are both the same
