transfer case swap
the transfer case in my 84 bronco is making noises 
At first it was giving me problems shifting into and out of 4low, it would grind and it was allways a fight to get it into 4H or even 2wd. last week the bronco started making a rythmic humming like the rear was going bad at speeds over 25mph. i took the cover off the rear and the oil was OK, refilled the rear greased the rear driveshaft but the nose stayed. today it started making a grinding noise of and on again, so I checked the fluid in the transfercase. it was low, but what had me worried was the fact that is looked like it had water in it. it was thin and a grayish pink
I think it have it narrowed down to a bad transfer case.
I have another transfer case in a 81 f150 that shifts fine. both the f150 and the bronco have NP208's but the bronco is a C6 and the F150 is a NP435. is there a difference between auto and manual transfer cases?
eventually i was going to convert the bronco to a stick but i need it running now, so hopefully its just the transfercase swap right now.

No, the 208 case is the same for manual and automatic. I had to think a while about the splines but I know a 205 will fit both a C6 or 435 meaning the splines/shafts are identical. You'll need to keep your same t-case to tranny adapter. Other than that eveything should bolt right up.
