Jeep CJ Dana 20 Transfer Case Part 2 - The Rebuild

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
  • There are a few videos on youtube about the Dana 20 transfer case, but they aren't the same as the Jeep CJ Dana 20 or not helpful on how to put it back together. This video, although lengthy, covers all of the steps that you need to take to put the Dana 20 back together.
    The overhaul/rebuild kit that I purchased is on Rock Auto. It comes with good quality bearings, gaskets, and seals. bit.ly/2QOjV99
    If you need to replace any of the gears or inner components, these can be found on most 4X4 sites (Quadratec, Morric, Summit… etc)
    Here is a section on Quadratec that has all of the things that are available for the Dana 20 on the market. Anything outside of this list will need to be found as OEM. bit.ly/3cI5D2z

    Use Vaseline to install the needle bearings. Then put the gear in the freezer. when ready jut take out and install. and use Vaseline to hold the side brass in place. I used the 15/16 socket to slip in the back side to align the gear . After lubercating the shaft slide it in pushing the socket out .

    Here's a 'hack' for the needle bearings. Assemble the needle bearings into the gear and use a 15/16 deep well socket as the temporary shaft. You will need to shorten the socket to fit flush into the housing.
    Once all the bearings and spacers are inserted and the 15/16 socket is in the gear, drop the gear in and push the socket out with the intermediate shaft. Boom!

    Add sealant between shims around 16:00, shims and cover doesn't seal its self on the one I'm building you can see sealant residue. Also add sealant to any bolt that goes into case and is open, which is almost every bolt. Great video helped me sort out my box of parts, got trans and transfer case done today. Thanks for taking the time to make video

    • @coolguy_CJ7
      @coolguy_CJ7  ปีที่แล้ว

      Appreciate the builds. I must not have filmed it but I used spray adhesive for the shims. Picked that up from an old transmission guy I know. If you’re going to use sealant, I’d make it s as thin as possible. The tolerances for the shaft clearance are so small and effect the foot pound about off the fattening bolts.

  • @michaellawrence9098

    Question: When you torqued the yoke nuts did it improve the tolerances on the gears? I'm a bit worried about getting them up to spec.

    • @coolguy_CJ7
      @coolguy_CJ7  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very much so. It got the bearings set correctly and everything spins freely. The first time I drove it, the shift from 4wd high to 2wd to N to 4wd low was almost to smooth. Worried I had missed something.

    In the Process of rebuilding mine. Is it possible to install the the shift rods upside down? I wouldn’t think so because of the way the forks have to line up with the Allen key on the shift rod.. I’m at the beginning stage, but I can’t get the front shift rod to pull out and get the two gears to engage with each other. I can push the front shift rod into the case, but it won’t pull out enough to get the two gears to engage. Idk if that makes sense. A picture would make it easier to understand.
