T86 To T14 Swap

The "double gear" next in line does not rotate fully. I cannot count the gear teeth

 

I know you don't want to hear this
the T 14 - 10 spline is a unicorn
29 tooth output gear can be found in 6 or 10 spline
not so much as finding a 26 tooth - 10 spline

 

I want to hear everything about this so I can correct it.

 

39 - 18 intermediate gear on novak chart . would indicate a 29 tooth output gear
could be my eye balls but the mesh looks off


now that you have it apart . hand fit the 10 spline gear into intermediate gear

 

They were bolted together, but not installed in the jeep. Now that the jeep is mine the owner is suspiciously not responding to my calls.

I will recount the gears after work today. If it is a 39 tooth count I can just bolt it up to my transmission to move on with my project?

There appears to be a broken chunk out of the front output Circle is that normal?

 

Here is a picture of mine from a couple of years ago. You can sort of see the front mounting hole. I think yours looks the same.

 

transmission oil return holes


let us know . what you find . I think the 29 tooth is the gear
carry on

 

We’re all interested in the intermediate gear, not the output gears with the sliding gear that you have a couple photos of. Measure the intermediate shaft diameter (the shaft with the 39/18 gear). A large hole case (4”) should measure 1-1/4”. The older small hole cases used 1-1/8”. There should be a stub sticking out a little past the case with a lock plate holding it.
It looks like you might have the right transfer case, only some one mistakenly put a 26 tooth drive gear where a 29 tooth should have been. And I thought I had seen it all!

Isnt that the photo with 40/18 written on it?
I will recount the teeth, and measure that shaft after work today, first thing.

 

Should i use copper spray gasket between the tranny/tcase when i put them together?

 

some info and links

I rebuilt that transfer case again with all NOS gears from Pete Debella https://www.debellajeepparts.com/
I also installed a AA intermediate gear bearing kit and had the gear machined to accept it.

 

At the very least I would replace the intermediate shaft and bearings.

 

The 4" index case was never offered in anything but the 1.25" intermediate shaft, D20 or D18. I'm another that would have that completely torn down NOW while it is already partly apart. The main drive gear/intermediate gear mesh appears to be a BIG red flag. With the driveshafts off, all that should turn freely with the transmission in neutral. If it doesn't there is a real problem. You obviously can not run a 26 tooth gear set with the 10 spline main drive gear and you really don't want those anyway. The spur gear tooth profile on that earlier 2.43:1 set is significantly less robust than the 2.46:1 gear set.

 

It's 39, not 40.

 

It does look like you should be all set. It seems like they had the wrong gear on the back of the transmission when they were doing whatever work they were doing with it.

 

I would at least pull the intermediate gear and check the condition of the shaft and rollers. If you have an original shaft, they were properly surface hardened and often these show no wear other than burnishing. Many aftermarket shafts wear terribly with very few miles.
I have many times re-used an intermediate shaft on overhauls.
