Clocking the transfer case...?
 

Has anyone clocked an NP205 t-case on the back of a Getrag? With all my lift I was wondering if I could clock the transfer case down a little bit to get a more comfortable driveline angle on the front driveshaft...and maybe open up a little room for a 5" exhaust. Anyone have any suggestions? :humm:

ive thought about that too. the only reason i didnt do it was because i thought it would cause lubrication problems

ya it can be done they make a kit for it on advancedadapters

i would think you would be able to just trun it down a bolt hole. not?

not sure about that i personaly have never had a big enough lift that i needed to clock my t case but i am sure advancedadapters makes a kit for it to be done i have seen it on ther site under np 205 and i have seen it done on some show trucks

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for an adaptor kit then.

Thanks for the input!

i searched everywhere for the clock kit for a 205 on their site and they only make em for jeeps it looks like.

Yeah, I just checked that too. I think I'm going to inspect the flanges on the adaptor between the Getrag and the 205 and see if maybe there is a way to drill new holes to clock it. :humm: Not the preferred method, I'm sure, but it's worth looking at while I have the tranny and t-case out to put a rebuilt tranny top on it and a new clutch in. :w2:

How much lift are you runnin cuz my dads got 14 inches of lift on a 85 dodge and we never clocked the t-case he just baught some special drive shafts that could hold to the steep angle

I'm running 10"-12" lift total, but the issue isn't driveline angle as much as it's making room for bigger exhaust without having to mount the engine/tranny all the way over to the driver side. See, the Fords were designed for everything to favor the passenger side and the t-case to drop on the driver side. I'm fighting the doghouse and crossmember design by trying to favor the driver side and leave room for the t-case AND a monster exhause on the passenger side. If I could clock the t-case a bit, I could potentially make room for 5" exhaust while still keeping the engine as centered as possible. It was an idea anyway. I guess I could always just make things easy and cut a hole in the hood for a stack, eh? :humm:
