Application
This sliding gear is specifically designed for Dana Spicer 18 transfer cases with the early 3/4" intermediate shaft configuration. This configuration was used in vehicles from 1941-1946 with the original T84 transmission. Later, the intermediate shafts were enlarged to 1-1/8" and 1-1/4" for increased load capacity.
Installation notes
Installation requires dismantling of the transfer case. The sliding gear slides onto the output shaft and is secured with a snap ring (A-991). Ensure the gears are correctly aligned before closing the case. Use new gaskets and fill with SAE 90 gearbox oil.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for Dana 18 transfer cases with 3/4" intermediate shaft — NOT interchangeable with later versions with 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" shafts. Always check the diameter of your intermediate shaft before ordering. Works with parts A989 (output shaft gear), A998 (intermediate shaft) and A991 (snap ring).
Historical context
The Dana Spicer 18 transfer case was designed in 1940 and was the first mass-produced four-wheel drive transfer case for the Willys MB and Ford GPW. The early version with 3/4" intermediate shaft was characterised by its compact construction and reliability under wartime conditions.
