Rockwell T221 Transfer Case

[Ed Snyder]

During a recent drive I experienced a transfer case issue with my '62 Suburban. The truck coasted to a stop, and would not go no matter what position the transfer case shifter was in. I had to have it towed home. So I suspect I'm faced with a rebuild. I see a handful of businesses on the internet offering their rebuild services for the T221. I'm not looking forward to the expense of shipping it off to be rebuilt. I haven't checked with any local transmission shops yet.

Advice or recommendations, anyone?

I looked at rebuilding mine at one point. Back then, it was cheaper to buy the parts off Ebay and replace them. If you drop it and find out what's wrong with it, it looks like all the parts are still available.

I hope to refresh mine soon. Divorced input shafts can be a little pricey but not as bad as the married ones. I have some parts and a few extra rear input bearing caps. LOL Please let me know if I can help.

If it was a 'married' case I would say the input shaft coupler stripped out, but that's not what you have. Maybe you could take the cover off and see if the shift forks are O.K., maybe it's stuck in neutral. Good news is parts are available on Ebay and places like Torque-King 4X4.
