Well, i thought it may happen... and it did.

seems like the chain on my t-case is slipping like a champ. making a god awful noise when i pull away hard and no noise if i baby it. does it fwd and reverse. Nothing brought it on specifically, just went for a moderate wheel last weekend (staked a brand new muddy while i was at it)

Now the question is, is it fixable? or am i up for a new case? what would you blokes do?

[atari4x4]

perfect time for a sierra transfer case swap

[want33s]

Either fit a new chain to your transfer or fit a Sierra (awesome) transfer.

Surely a slipping chain would do damage to its drive spockets

I vote sierra case. Not worth spending the money on the jimny case ( unless you have no need for the gearing that sierra t-case offers.....)

[zooky08]

Doing the Sierra case swap isn't a cheap mod either. Your only running 215s right?

[got_bar_work]

Hes got to get one new tire now so he might as well buy 5 31

I put a chain in a coily case a while ago. It had been slipping occaisionally and I expected the worst but after fitting the new chain it drove fine. Perhaps not best practise but that car is still on the road 2 years later.

i remember saam did this.. only lasted a year and slipped again!

i have a spair case here if you want to keep with jimny case, or yeah go sierra!!

[BertZook]

think joeblow is selling his too.... dnt remember if theres any difference in transfer ratios between jimnys

[Scales]

well the 215s are BRAND new so im not changing them due to this happening. Sounds like a case swap with another jim is the best option.
is the gearing the same across each model?

I just want to be able to drive it again without spending bulk coin on it. its practically undriveable at the moment, would love a sierra case but i fear the time involved in sourcing all the parts is going to be extensive and expensive.

how much are you blokes asking for the cases? Shoot me a PM

[31zook]

My Sierra tcase swap cost me:
$290? For the kit
$60 for both shafts
$120 for the case with 4.16 gears.

And about 10hrs to get it perfect

[zooky08]

My kit cost $354 a few weeks ago.
Everything else I got for free.

[Scales]

that sounds like a good price in both cases. now any suggestions where to find those parts? what exactly am i after? keep in mind im in Townsville but i have family in Brissie who can arrange shipping for me

[31zook]

Mates and stuff. Wreckers, putting up wanted adds, I'm pretty sure that covers everything...

[zooky08]

Have a read through this Scales. Tells you everything you need to know

[Scales]

oh yeah forgot about that thread completley, cheers man. ill put the feelers out for a WT case and props

[KEENSY85]

I have an awesome stock wt case for 200,I'm in bris north side. Case with reduction veers for 120 sounds way way to cheap must be a crap case or off a mate the cheapest I can get reduction 4:6.1 gears is $660 including shipping I thought that was kick ass

[Scales]

pm'ed ya mate

[Scales]

if i just go with the WT case swap and leave gears as stock for the moment ill get a 10% reduction is that right? Im a mk2 Jim (m13 no vvt)
and ill still have to get the mounting kit from ORA however wont i?

[zooky08]

12% in high

[Scales]

ah righto. what about low? 12% again? oh and also how many wt flanges do i need? just the one for the speedo? i can reuse the old jim ones for the other 2?

I've seen hole's drilled & thread's tapped to make an adjuster in these piss weak chain case's.

If you find a WT case make sure it has flanges. You need to retain the WT flanges.

[Scales]

ok looks like ive got myself a WT case now with flange's now to find some prop shafts. got an email out to ORA about the mount kit, waiting on results

[Scales]

ORA mounts coming for 360 delivered.
cheers for the t-case keensy85.
Now to find some WT shafts.

[Scales]

Okays, looks like i got one shaft in the post and my bro picked up the other in Brissy.

Is there a way to ID the shafts to confirm they are WT? not doubting anyone here just want to make sure before i get all carried away.

[zooky08]

Will have m12 bolts holes if not it will have m10 which we be a nt shaft.
