 Subject: Transfer-case Clocking
IP: Logged
Message:
I've got a 98 3.9l 5spd 4x4, and the rear extension housing on my AX-15 is cracked. I picked up a new one from an online salvage yard, but the clocking for my t-case is wrong. I have the 23º clocking on my Dak, but the part I got has the 10º clocking.
My question is, can I still use it? The 10º clocking is better in my opinion, since the case is more tucked up under the truck. I'm not sure if it will cause any binding/clearance issues with my front driveshaft, and I dont know if I will still be able to bolt up the shift linkage, although I dont think that its too much of a problem thanks to my handy dandy torch. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the truck is sitting gutted in the garage right now =).
Thanks alot,
-Zack

I never heard of a repair book mentioning The clock on a part. Your the first that ever asked. You need to know exactly what this new one was removed from and cross reference. I've seen this clock thing enough times but as I said. I've never seen it used as a reference. Maybe I'm learning something I never new my hole life lol

Yeah thats sorta the problem, when I bought it, the guy told me it was from a Dakota =/.
The book didnt mention anything about it, but I did some research online and found out that the ax-15 came with the two different clocking.
My only guess is that maybe they changed the clocking they used between different year dakotas, although that doesnt make much sense =/.
I think im gonna do a test fit later, just bolt up the housing/t-case, minus the rest of the transmision and see if the front driveshaft binds or anything.
Thanks for the reply,
Zack

Zack...... I would think if in fact the clock had anything to do with fit, It would be mentioned in the repair books and more important it would be used in the interchange books the wrecking yards use to sell parts. Because of this I'm leaning towards the clock being a way to identify production runs for in house reason only of value to the producers.
