Topic: how much longer is dual cases?

[surlynkid]

i have an A340F in a T100.  it has the chain driven case.  if i swap out to marlin's gear cases and use dual cases with all his adapters, how much longer will my entire unit be than stock?  i am trying to map out my plan to solve some driveline issues and carrier bearing issues.  i am going to swap to the dual case setup mentioned, but want to think forward as to how i will be able to set up the rear driveshaft.  with my current setup, it is 66" flange to flange which is too long for a one piece shaft with 2.75" tube.  i want to figure out how much shorter it will be with the dual case setup.  thanks

On a mini truck just adding a 2nd case 6'' more so this would prob work out to 6"-8" more this is a guess because I have no idea how long the chain case is.
Im assuming you what to go with dual gear drives not gear drive mated to you origanal chain?

[surlynkid [OP]]

yes, dual geared cases.  i will scrap the chain one.

All I know is that a dual gear setup is 6'' longer then a single

okay, that helps.   now i need to know how much length the adapter adds.  maybe 2"??  then i need to know the difference in length (if any) between a chain driven case and a gear driven case.

Here ya go :up:
your geting the setup on the right this looks to be about 7"-8" longer then stock.
Hope that helped!

2-3/8 for the adapter and 4-1/8 for the crawlbox

How thick is the mini truck to taco tranny adapter

[cruzila]

3-3/4"

[rEdnECkwHeE1eR]

so I wasnt to far saying the whole deal would be 8" longer then a stock mini case.

Uhh, no, he is ditching the chain driven t-case. So going to the gear driven t-case w/ dual makes it a little shorter.

In looking again at the pic you posted red, i am not sure if there is much differencwe between them I never really measured the chain vs gear driven cases

Well thats what I was saying I figured it would be about 8" longer then a stock GEAR drive set up in a 79-95 toy. But I didn't know how much longer it would be in a T100.
