NP205 Speedometer Gears
I just picked up a Dana 61 rear axle with 3.31:1 gears that I am going to put under my highboy with a NP205 transfer case. I'm running 7.50R16 tires.
I think I need an 8 tooth drive gear and 17 tooth driven gear. I have read that the gears for a NP205 are the same as for a NP435 4 speed. Is this true?
If it is, I think I need a C8OZ 17285-B drive gear and C3DZ 17271-B driven gear.
Anybody want to double check my work? I'm not the best with the Ford parts book...

The driven gears are a piece of cake to find. I just need someone to verify that C8OZ 17285-B is the correct drive gear for the NP205.

Anybody? I can't find any mention of this gear being used for a NP205 and I can't find an 8 tooth gear for a NP205 at all...

The 435, 205, and c6 use the same speedo cable gear. You should be fine as long as it looks the same and has the right teeth. If you look on the end of the gear the tooth count is also molded into them. Real tiny font but it should be there.

That I am not sure about. They appear the same but I have never had the need to swap one out.

LMC shows two different gears for c6 vs np205. The big difference is the reverse rotation of the gear. Mine keeps chewing up the gear in the output shaft so I'm guessing maybe I have the wrong gear??? I'm confused.

But, if the trans is a C6, the DRIVE gear is made as part of the output shaft, cannot be replaced by itself.
