I used a Monster transmissions B29-SD 1650 stall super duty converter, $290.03 when I ordered my trans. the impeller is brazed, not spot welded. My rebuilder used a cheap converter when he rebuilt the 700 that was already in the truck when I bought it. It came apart and destroyed the trans that...
Thanks mijon, just passing along some info I came across a few years ago. The 205 is just about indestructable unless it's run out of oil, or bashed open running over rocks n stuff. I was never a big fan of the chain type transfer cases when they first came out.
The 241 had a problem with the chain stretching and slapping against the inside of the case creating a pin hole. Check out www.specialtytrans.com/...np241c_transfer_case_problems.hta
Yup, and with the 700-R4s first gear ratio of 3.06 to 1, compaired to the TH400s ratio of 2.48, it will crawl pretty well off road fully loaded with firewood or whatever.
Oh BTW, If you can find the later model 205 with the 6 bolt round pattern, it is also a boltup with no driveshaft mods or input couplers needed. The 6 bolt 205 is hard to find as their production run was short and they were discontinued completly as an option.
That depends on how far the output shaft sticks out on the 700-R4 you have. A stock 700-R4 that had an NP208 behind it will have a long output shaft as they had the round 6 bolt adapter on them. So yes, you will need the 2" spacer and the shaft coupler sleeve to mate to it to the figure 8, or...
All 700-R4s are 27 spline. The spline count on your TH400 is 32, so the input on the 208 will be the same, 32. The 208 nor the 205 that was behind a TH400 will mate to the 700-R4 without changing the input splines on the TC to 27. If you really want a 205, you will have to find one that was...
