I'chiliad having trouble finding speedometer gears in my area, and I know I can get 700r4 tranny gears from Bowtie Overdrive . My question is this, can anyone confirm that 700r4 speedometer gears will fit in a 208 transfer case. I have heard that these gear will interchange, but they were from sources that I did not fully trust. I'd hate to take them shipped from California and so non work. So if anyone knows if they volition fit permit me know. Thanks

No i has pictures of the transfer case gears?
I can probably get pictures of the 208 parts. I was a the wrecking chiliad one time and a shattered 208 was laying on the ground, so I grabbed all of what looked to be the speedometer gear parts.
IIRC there were 3 gears in the 208 pieces I picked upward, definitely only 2 gears in a 700. Similar I said though, the 208 was shattered, and then these pieces could have been something else, although I did go the driven gear housing (what the cable threads onto) so the(a?) driven gear will be obvious.

this is what i found on line for the 700r4 (i am using a xv/41 as my example): a 41 molar driven gear is gm part 1362195, the 15 tooth drive gear is part 8642620 and the 40-45 housing is 1362294. this info was consistent from a few different sites.
now this is what i found from my gm dealer for my 208 x-fer instance: a 41 tooth driven gear is gm function 1362195, the 15 tooth bulldoze gear is role 1437997 and the 40-45 housing is 1362293.
bottom line: it looks similar the driven gear is the same for the 700r4 and the 208 x-fer case and the drive gear and housing are unlike. i was hoping that they were the same because i thought that the lx.00 price tag for the set-upwards from bowtie would be a far better bargain than i would observe from the dealer. withal, this did not turn out to be the case. from my dealer, i was able to option upward the drive gear, driven gear, o ring and housing (aka "sleeve") for 64 basic out the door. at bowtie, it was threescore before shipping and the merely thing that i did not get from the dealer was the screw and clip. based on this, just pop down to your dealer and society from them. i will receive these parts on friday and will post some additional feedback afterwards i install them...

FWIW, a friend of mine that I trust greatly in his automotive knowledge, states that the online calculators are almost worthless. They are too far off in almost all the cases he has seen and dealt with.
FWIW, it IS just what someone told me, but I believe him without question on this.

not trying to sound rude merely your friend doesn't know what he'south talking about.
I used the online calculator on TCi's website and it was dead-on accurate.
You simply need to know the drive gear and the driven gear (in my case, in my NP208, the drive gear was blue). I imagin if yous just presume that this gear is the aforementioned on all vehicles, that it will non exist the case.

FWIW, I establish my new gear at the dealer for less than $10 (around $7 I think)

i inverse the driven gear (this is the easy one) and the sleeve terminal week and i finally got around to replacing the drive gear today. it was no problem - i drained well-nigh a quart or so of the t-case fluid and just removed the speedo cable, driven gear sleeve, driven gear and the 4 bolts holding the tail shaft cover. in one case the bolts were removed, i had to tap on the cover a chip until information technology came gratis. the old drive gear slipped right off and i slid the new one on. i used the calculator on bowtie's spider web site. i used some rtv on the embrace and bolted it back up. i am going to let the rtv fix before i put fluid in and take it for a spin. as someone shared with me, there is a plastic disc that fits between the tail shaft cover and t-case; information technology is a pain to go it to stay in place when you re-install the comprehend - it will only go in i style. for threescore bones (got all parts from my local dealer) and a few quarts of fluid, i recollect it is worth the fourth dimension to change these out. i got lucky because my ghetto tires and current 4:10 gear set will use the same combo as 36s and iv:88. i should not accept to change again...

The 2wd tranny gears will not piece of work in the 208.
In the movie above you can see exactly what the transfercase drive gear looks like, and that it is splined on the inside besides. The drive gear for the 2wd tranny is non splined and is much thinner/shorter (there is a overnice moving-picture show on the bowtieoverdive web site). However the driven gears are the same in both the 208 and 2wd tranny. There are only three gears available for the 208 (per the dealer I deal with) I think they were the blackness, grey, and lite green (don't quote me on that as I just have a light green and gray here). So you accept to work your combo out to apply one of those three drive gears. Kinda sucks only information technology worked out alright for me and most folks I've seen.

I accept never found an online calculator that gave the same numbers for drive / driven as a known accurate manufacturing plant GM automotive application.
I realize it's not a truck app., but for a 215/65R15 tyre, 700-R4 trans, and 3.73 rear, GM used 15drive / 45driven. For the same combo with 200-4R, they used 10drive / 30driven. For the same philharmonic with T5, they used 7drive / 21 driven. For 200-4R, 3.42 / same tyre, they used 11drive / thirty driven. Those aren't the only combos I've run through the "online calculators," just ones i recollect off the tiptop of my head that I accept personally used, verified at the dealer, and driven in my own cars.
When I entered those in, TCI gave different gear tooth numbers.
How do yous know TCi's was dead-on accurate? If information technology's right, why did GM keep putting the "wrong" gears in transmissions dorsum when they still used speedometer gears and not reluctor rings / VSS setups?
If I don't know what I'grand talking about, so GM doesn't either. Go along in heed, GM'south transmission / speedometer research budgets are probably hundreds of times larger than TCi'southward unabridged R&D budget. I know who I trust. How about you?
