Author Topic: MC10 Chain Drive Dual Adapter -- NOW IN STOCK AND READY! (Read 52224 times)

Marketing · « **on:** Oct 04, 2004, 10:38:17 PM »

Here is our prototype MC10 dual adapter. It's still in testing but if all goes well we will be able to use this new adapter to install a crawl box using a factory chain drive rear case on 88-95 V6 applications and 89-95 G58 4Cyl applications.

So you can have:
Transmission/Crawl Box/MC10/Factory Chain Drive Case.

The crawl box can have 2.28 or 4.70 gears.

Retail price for the Billet adapter is expected to be $649

After testing we will post up additional information.

That's cool and all but, why? Just swap in a gear drive case or 2. Y'all already make an adapter to do that...I know I've got it

Because this will be the only dual case adapter available on the market with a passengers side front output shift on the fly dual case setup.

Also the gears are lower (2.56 compared to 2.28) so an ultimate will be 251:1 compared to 223:1.
Also the 2nd gen chain drive t/case has proven its worthy ness behind both the Supercharged 3.4l V6 and the Tundra V8, and we feel that this 1st gen t/case isn't too far behind.

BigMike

We just need to do some testing on it and it will be ready for sale. The above unit should be the finished thing.

The chain driven t-case will be the primary case right as in it will be the rear case not the crawl box? If so I'm in, I want to add another case in spring.

Oh Man
I just saw this this would be better than goin the duals i posted about in my thread for the A343F auto.
Either way i want a dual so if this can be done ill go this way less dramas maybe lol.
Chris will this come as a complete setup with gears and stick ready to bolt straight to chain case.
And will the adaptor plate and coupler for the A343F fit with this setup.
I want 1 now please
Thanks Dave

In the last few weeks we have been so busy shipping orders we have not had time to look at and test this new adapter. We will get to it soon.

surfindave · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 27, 2004, 07:43:36 AM »

Hi Chris
If this will work on my A343F i want one as soon as you are ready.
Can i put some $$ on it as the aussi dollar is good at the moment.
I would need
The A343f adaptor plate coupler and bearing
The crawl box and the MC10 and 2.28 gearset all fitted so all i have to do is bolt me chain 1 to the back and then bolt straight in to atuo.

Freight

SWAMPER · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 08, 2004, 06:52:51 PM »

Guys maybe Im on crack or what not but will I be able to have a "Crawler" rig with the MC10? I do have an auto tranny.

Marketing · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 08, 2004, 10:10:47 PM »

The MC10 will not work with pre 96 auto tranys.

Yes most applications will need the V6 plate.

correct me if I'm wrong, but with the v6 plate the mc-10, and a reduction box off a gear driven transfer case I can build the whole crawler box right. I mean I can not (ok I could if I spent thousands of dollars on miller equipment) build the v6 plate or the mc-10,

but I sure could put a set of 4.70 gears into a reduction box I got out of the wreckers( I love building things). Thats would not only save me a few $$ but also I could PROUDLY

say I built it myself.

The MC10 will not work with pre 96 auto tranys.

Unless it is a 4cyl standard cab 4x4 pickup with an auto. Very rare. Marlin and I saw 1 in Fresno 3 years ago. This was the only pre-96 model that came with the A340F AT and I think it was mated to a gear driven t-case.

O.K., Let me get this straight:
Will this new project work on my '95 V6 (3VZE) mated to a R150F 5 speed with a chain driven (passenger side) transfer case???

LA_Fred · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 29, 2004, 10:03:58 PM »

Hey Chris, Mike or Marlin crew,
How much stronger is the tacoma V6 chain drive case versus the 88-95 V6 case that is run behind the 3vz? There must be some difference?

BigMike · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 29, 2004, 10:49:15 PM »

Hey Fred,

Marlin spoke with a lead engineering behind the VF1A and he learned that when the 3.4 was introduced and the left-hand output came out, the chain was modified to include both a wider design and smaller links which results in a greater number of links that spread the load around the chain more evenly.

So we felt quite confident about the 2nd gen VF1A tcase when we introduced the MC09, and due to the fact that its held up so well, even behind the 4.7 i-FORCE, we feel that the 1st gen VF1A is ready for the test.

As this adapter is still in its developmental stage, this is however how we feel about the chain drive case in question. So once we get this adapter ready and produced, then we will have alot of happy chain drive Crawlers

Hey BigMike,
thanks for the info. I had a feeling that the taco case was plenty stout. This is a nice option for those who already have the chain drive case. Keep up the awesome work!

Best regards,
Fred

I wish I were ready to do the engine/trans/t-case swap in my FJ60 I would do some testing for you.

roundhouse · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 09, 2004, 07:41:35 AM »

I thought all the chain driven cases were drives side output.

CruzrDave · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 09, 2004, 09:00:53 AM »

88-95 V6 truck or 4-runner(R150F trans), 90-95 4cly 4-runner(G58 Trans), 90-95 4cly trucks with ADD(G58 Trans) and 93-97 T-100 all have chain case with Passanger side output. We hyave not found time to do the install on the MC10 yet. We a 1990 4-runner for the test rig. Hopfully we can get it done in the next month or so. This 4-runner also features our SAS kit.

AlaskaToy · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 03, 2005, 10:37:44 PM »

with the cost of the mc10, it hardly seems feasable to have to spend the coin on TWO adapters and a 4cyl reduction box just to use the factory chain case. If you have a R150F, why not just by the tranny to case adapter and run a pair 4cyl gear boxes? A complete used gear case is cheaper than the MC10.

But here's where the bets are on a good use for the MC10: R151 and standard 4cyl tranny guys already have the gear reduction box. 649 for the MC 10 and a used V6 chain case and duals can be done for about 800 bucks. There are a bazillion chain cases for sale for cheap from guys like me with a 3.slow who went duals long before the MC10 was born. That's how I would use one anyway.
