Okay, in the local newspaper here there is an 205 for sale for 300 clams. It just says it's for an auto. If the guy didn't change anything with it, what would have came with it stock? I would call him, but, well, you know, /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif I am not good on phones /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif
 
It will depend on which auto it came off of. If it came off of a TH400 it will be 32 spline input if it came off of a TH350 it will be 27 spline input. The TH400 version is worth a lot more than the TH350 version too /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
yeh cuz the 32 spline any case models were not as common as 27 splines ones

and persinalyl i wouldnt give a crazy 300 for a 205 case, unless was rebuilt or inspected professionally at a shop, or something of that nature :P :P


tjkj
 
So the best chance is that it was connected to a th350? Is it possible to change the spline from 27 to 32? Thansk for the help.

I disagree. The NP 205 with the 27 spline input for a TH 350 is pretty rare. While what you are saying might be true for the other cases, I think that there aren't many adapters out there as rare as the 27 spline NP 205. (except maybe the 85-up 32 spline 465/205 adapter, or the 4L80E to NP 205 adapter)

Yes but it often requires machine work. Besides, you can often sell a 27 spline 205 for more than a 32 spline one is worth, make some $$ and pick up the 32 spline case that you need.

For your use though a TH 350/NP 205 might not be a bad setup either.
 
Whats the difference in length of the 400 versus the 350? Because I could use the th350 that is in the blazer right now, until I find a good th400. All I would need to do is get an adaptor to hook up the 350 from 208 to 205.
I'll phone the guy tomorrow and find out some information. What questions should I ask? Thanks for the help.
 
Make it simple for the guy and just ask if it was mated to a TH400 or a TH350.
Here's a reference pic for what the input shafts look like,Just incase you go look at it.

The 27 spline for the TH350 will have a sleeve as well.
 
Thanks, I saved that picture so if I do go look at it, I will have a reference /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

You have to remember he is talking about canadian dollars so about $50 US /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif (more like $180-200 US)
 
It would actually be around $210. The exchange rate is 30%, so $1.30 is one dollar in the US. /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif
 
Last I heard it was somewhere around 67-68% (CAN $ x .68 = US $) or if you go the other way it would have been 147% (US$ x 1.47 = CAN$). But the conversion rate changes daily too. As of today it is 0.7358 (1.3590) /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Today is a good day to buy something from the US /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
I just thought of something else to ask him, what did it come out of, a Furd or a GM. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
 
Okay, we called him and he said it was GM /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
So I asked what it was mated to, and unfortunatly, it was a th-350, so like Tim said, for now I will just hook it up to the 350 that is in there right now until a find a th400. I forgot to ask the condition it was in, what should I look for when I pick it up on monday, cracks or anything worn?
One more question, where can I get the hardware to adapt the th350 to the np205 transfer case? Originally it was a 208 in there.
Also, when I pick it up, what hardware do I need for it to hook up? Thanks...
 
Try to get the adapter, shifter and drivesleeve, that will let you hook it to the TH350 with minimal effort. If you can't get that stuff, we carry it but the used market is much friendlier price wise.
Keep in mind that parts availability varies from area to area, the upper midwest seems to be utopia for drivetrain parts where the opposite extreme might be florida or california where you just don't have to have 4wd to get around and can't find stuff that easy. You have to gauge your area to see if it's worth it. Personally, from what I've seen, if you can get a 350 version 205 with the adapter for $300, go for it. Without the adapter, it might be worth shopping a little.
 
so he should have the adapter to hook it up? Will he have the drivesleeve too? Obvisly he should have the shifter too.
