Update on 53 REO T case.

[austinaubinoe]

Well... Looks like my T case has good gears!! Looks like the input is broken though!

Attached are pics of my transfer case, and the input on the spare T case, and the Good high range gear (I believe). Man it sure is easy to get to the t case / trans on these trucks!

Also pictured:
-What is that output on the trans for? Moves in and out when you shift.

-Look at this great rust hole fix.......

that trans rod shifts the transfer into forward or reverse

that trans rod shifts the transfer into forward or reverse

So that is supposed to be connected! Any one no where I can get the parts that I need? And what is the input flange called? Same on thats on the axles?

Thanks

I ment to say shifts the sprag into forward or reverse

I ment to say shifts the sprag into forward or reverse

Since I have an air shift T case, this is unneeded right?


I also want to say that my t case shifter assembly moves like a wet noodle. Just tighten up the bolts, or are there bushings that wear out?

 

[73m819]

Yes

anyone know where I can get the part that broke? I COULD pull it off my spare T case, But would rather leave that one complete.

Any links to a write up replacing that part would be nice!

 

[austinaubinoe]

Bump! Really need to order this part! But cant find any info on it!!!

I emailed Erik and this is what he had to say:


Austin,
I don't have the transfer case companion flange. You might try Memphis Equipment 901-774-0600

If you have a spare transfer case you might consider installing it... that companion flange problem looks serious. The flange is torn up from rubbing/hitting nearby parts. I'd inspect the input shaft bearings closely for damage. I think something came apart in the transfer case input shaft gears/synchro cluster or a bearing let go. The transfer case is several hundred pounds so a good quality transmission jack is needed.

The rod on the transmission is what used to go to the transfercase sprag clutch. The air shift upgrade kit replaced the sprag clutch so the trans shift rod was no longer needed. Later transmissions did not even have the shift rod.

regards,
Erik von Seggern

Now that I know it is called a companion flange, I googled it and found this! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flange-Comp...ies&vxp=mtr&hash=item41607c407e#ht_500wt_1268

Is $45 an appropriate price on this item? Is this even the correct part? And does anyone think that I will have significant internal damage?
