Broke my t-case while installing clutch
during the process of installing my clutch the engine block fell down a couple inches from a faulty jack. i had my transfer case pushed out of the way to get the tranny out. when the block slipped down it wedged the transfer case between the bock and cross bar and broke the flange on the bottom of the transfer case where the bolts go in. now i am only able to bolt the transfer case up with the 3 bolts on top and the one bolt remaining on the bottom. what can i do? is it possible to just buy the transfer case housing so i can put my internals in it?

unfortunetely i think you are better off either trying to fix it or buy a used on from a member here. as far as i know getrag makes our t-case's and no parts are available seperately for purchasing.good luck.

chances are when you put the two pieces together, you will know if they fit right. Just move it around and it should fall together. A good welder will tack it into place then hog out the material in a "V" bevel then weld it from the inside out. This will create a sloid piece when done. He will then have to grind/file the mating surface somewhat flat so as not to missalign anything. If there is ANY gap between the flange and tranny when its "stabbed" You might break it off again as tightning it up will bend the flange to meet the tranny. Easy to know, hard to explain. Good luck.

Thats a little larger than i was visualizing. It will have to be TIG/Heliarc welded if its repairable. You have nothing to loose trying it. I dont think they should charge more than say $75. Good luck
