ok, a couple questions.

first of all, internally, what is the difference strength wise between a 13-50 and 13-54

second, to tell them apart, does anyone have a pic of a 13-50?

 

1350:

 

I don't know the internal differences but you can easily tell the 1350 because it has a slip yoke front output whereas the 1354 has a fixed yoke.

 

Believe all 1354's have the threads for the dampner thingy...but i'm not too positive on that. I know all the 1354's i saw at the yard had dampners...including older model rbv's with manual shifters.

 

ok. tylers has a dampner mount and it has a fixed front yoke. it says 13-54-xxx-xxx on the case, but on the front where it bolts up to the trans it says 13-50-xxx-xxx

i still think it is a 13-54 wooo

shane....we need 13-54 linkage now! lol

 

uh oh...

uhhhhh...now i gotta go lookin'. i do have two...but....you'll need to make a shift handle for it...it's off an fx4...so it's got threaded holes that are 7/8" apart.





I'd say yea...it's a 1354 youve got there.

 

Watch out though. The FX4 linkages won't work on an older 1354 without some modification.

 

Which piece Ryan? I've got in front of me...a 1350 linkage, a 1354 older linkage, and a 1354 fx4 linkage. only difference between the fx4 and the older 1354 is the piece that bolts to shifter stud stuckin' out the trans. Everything else is the same....the 'shift rails' if you well(the shifter side), the big long pivot.

 

i told you i can get you an older linkage if needed so you dont have to modify it

 

Shane, I don't know this from experiance but a guy over on explorerforums tried to use the new linkage with the older 1354 and had to modify the end of it. The shift fork on the transfer cases are positioned differently between the new 1354 and the older one.

I could be wrong here though....

 

There are a couple 1350 with fixed outputs on the front but they are pretty rare to find....

 

The only fixed output 1350s I have seen are electric shift. That doesn't mean the fixed yoke manual shift 1350s didnt exist though.

 

The 1350 manual shift with a fixed yoke was from an Ranger STX High Rider edition. I have one sitting in my parents basement.



If i remember correctly, the 1350 is a 4 internal chain drive tc while the 1354 is a 6, however early year 1354 came with 4 chain as well

 

oh dang, if you could just snag this piece, I would be excited!!!!!!!

 

didnt they come in the early rangers and the BIIs

 

here the case Im running currently

 

I just hope we can find the correct shifter linkage...I don't care what the ball looks like, I just want it to be functional.

 

dude trust me between shane and i we will get you the right one

 

Awesome. I just need to find the right front driveshaft from a 95-97 Explorer and the shifter linkage and I'm almost good to go.

 

can you do me a favor and take a pic of the front flange on your tcase justin was trying to explain but i couldnt under stand

 

K K K. Downey.....Tyler.....Justie......i postponed the JY run to sunday. The JY run to look for a front shaft for ya and i'll look for 1354 older style linkage. I've got plenty of shift *****(i probably got 4. lol). Got a few boots.

I think downey's responsible for finding an auto trans/manual tcase bezel and boot. But i'll keep my eyes out for one.

 

yep i will go look Saturday if i have time and hopefully get myself a boot

 

You know Tyler, I have a bunch of my custom ball bearing shift ***** that are medium sized to fit a t-case if you want me to throw one in the box going to you and Justie... Along with his SD 3rd I promised him lol

 

Cam.....his look like this..should be just like yours...


(this is my adaptor......imagine that round end is part of the tcase...

Here's what the shaft will look like....(bottom shaft, but it'll be longer than pictured...mines shortened for an adaptor)

 

ok thanks Shane that is what i thought. does anyone know the length of 95-97 shaft?
