Hi My son has a coily , the transfer case is clunking , it needs a rebuild . He's totally happy with the ratios and not interested in lower ratios.
Q. Are the Jimny transfer cases the same as these - do they bolt in easlily ?
Q - Does anyone in the club have a coily transfer case they are willing to part with ?

I would like to help him get this sorted.

Thanks Folks , sorry i cant make it to Bill's this weekend.

Jimny transfer is similar but not exactly the same and doesn’t have provision for the speedo cable- they use an electronic speedo.

Parts should be reasonably available. It’s most likely a stretched chain.

Agh Ha , ok . Perhaps we would be better looking for a standard WT 1.3 case and put some nice new bearings in it

Yes, but it will reduce ratios both on and off road. This won’t impact cruising speed negatively, but it will slightly raise RPM for a given road speed. Offroad the reduction will be quite noticeable but not excessively low, even with stock or small tyres. What size tyre is the car currently running?
