I'm about to pick up an np205/203 pair. Besides the adapter, whats involved internally? Are any of the internal parts completely custom or could they be collected outside the kit?

I believe the only custom parts are the output shaft for the 203 range box and the adapter. Other than that it is just a bearing, a seal, and some hardware. Assembly was fairly simple aside from the large internal snap ring. That thing was a little difficult to get in there.
Hope this helped! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well the 203 must bolt to your tranny and the 205 must bolt to a TH400(same as the 205 side of the ORD adapter). /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

You will need to replace the output shaft on the 203 range box; this is the hardest part of the doubler build. Have fun.

Harry's got his installed and ready to rock. He's also taking this week off of work. Cruise around the corner and take a look if you're home. I'm sure he could give you the lowdown on everything that's involved.

Most people will want ORD's shifters. I thought I could make the 205 and/or a 203 shifter work. Then looking at how close it all is, I figured it was worth it to buy ORD's shifter kit. Even the kit is REALLY close...
Then again you are probably a much better fabricator than I.
Good luck.

How does the np203 output shaft differ over stock?
Is the adapter just that or does it also house a bearing or seal?
I'm examining all options, looking to mate some 5-speed to a custom np-203/ np-205 doubler. Might buy ORD's or see about just buying some of the internals from them, if they will.

The shaft is a couple of inches shorter.
The adapter hold's the shaft bearing and the shaft into place.

Silly Mike, you should have crawled under mine at the safari /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif seriously if you wan tto come to the next meeting, you can check out mine, and i can make you a copy of the ord instructions if you want. its pretty simple really, but the adapter (doubler) does house a bearing and a seal, and i can't remember if they are off the shelf parts or not. Let me know, or maybe if your up my way you can stop by my work or something. See ya.
