Best NP 205 Rebuild Kits?

[rowdy11]

Thanks for the responses everyone and for the helpful links. I found a small machinist who will bore out the case from 80-90 MM for 30 bucks. Not bad.

I think I'm going to get in and see if the bearings need replacing (expect so) and then order that and seals etc from there. I hope I'm in the same boat as you highcountry...but I expect I'll need to replace bearings and I've already got my eye on something from offroaddesign.

By the way, what adapter kit are you using for your 205 to 6L80? Also, do you have a transmission brace figured out yet? The trans brace isn't something I've found to be pre-fabbed and for sale because the 6L's are still so rare compared to the 4L80 swaps.

if the fluid is clean and not water then the bearings will prob be o.k. . only time i need bearings is super high miles and or major water mix run for a long time .

check your fork pads were they ride on the lock ring and the 45* teeth for the lock ring . if worn then call up offroad design they sell new .

Man I wish I could get my case machined for $30! It's costing me about $125 up here but everything is high priced in AK.
I went with the Advance Adapters kit as it seemed like the most comprehensive way to go (but you pay for it). I'm hoping to reuse my original trans/t-case crossmember and adapt that to the AA mounting points. If that doesn't work I'll fab one up from rectangle or dom tube.
