Post by: buriesjeeps on May 22, 2009, 05:53:11 am

I strongly doubt there is anything out there to adapt a T56 to any transfer case, as this transmission was never designed for anything other than 2WD applications and low GVWs.  I'm sure if you were determined enough you could have something made.  But why?  For an offroad machine how about a NV4500 or if you really want a 6-speed a NV5600?

a T56 won't have more gear it will just have more gears and 2 of them on a 4x4 is a waste as they are over drive.
I would look at something like what eventhorizon66 posted.
