BORG WARNER 1356 Transfer Case ????
On my 95 F150 my transfer case quit working in any high range gears. All I have is 4lo. I'm sure my Reduction Fork the nylon pieces on the ends are broke or work out. I ordered a new fork today.
My question what other areas of weakness are there in these cases? I'm going to buy a used case complete from a wrecking yard, then tear it down & put a new fork in & if there are any other weak areas I'll install new parts there also. Then I will put it in my Ford & then rebuild that one for a spare.
Thanks,
Craig

Another weak point on these is how the oil pump is secured. There is a little tab that keeps it from spinning, but it easily wears through the part on the case that is supposed to locate the tab. The fix is to weld a bar to the tab to hold it in place. If the pump spins around it stops sucking oil and the bearings will go.
I can't remember where I saw that, but it had pictures showing the issue and the fix.
$300 sounds like a lot for a transfer case... is this an electric one?

Thanks for the tip on the oil pump. I bought the case & had it put in today. I didn't have a bunch of choices. I was 150 miles from the nearest wrecking yards. The next closest were 300 miles away. I searched on cars-parts.com & $300 was the cheaper prices I found. The yard I bought from I have done business with in the past & their stuff has always been A-OK.
Anyway it is a done deal.
