Application
This intermediate gear is intended for Dana 18 transfer cases. The Dana 18 was used in military jeeps and civilian utility vehicles. Note: different versions exist with different shaft diameters (3/4", 1-1/8", 1-1/4") and tooth counts. Always verify the specifications of your existing part before ordering.
Installation notes
Replacing the intermediate gear requires disassembly of the transfer case. The intermediate shaft must be driven REARWARD out of the housing — never forward, this can crack the housing. Use a brass drift to tap out the shaft, never strike directly with a hammer. Check the housing for cracks around the shaft bore. Use bearing assembly grease to hold the needle bearings in place during assembly.
Compatibility
Note: Dana 18 transfer cases were produced in various versions with different intermediate shaft diameters and gear configurations. Early military versions used 3/4" shafts, later civilian versions 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" shafts. The gear must match the shaft diameter and the mainshaft gear. Check the Spicer number on your existing gear (for example 18-8-23) for correct identification.
Historical context
The Dana Spicer 18 transfer case was a groundbreaking design developed during WWII for the first fully mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicles. The compact, durable design remained in production for decades.
