3. GM New Process 203

NP203 TRANSFER CASE DETAIL IDENTIFICATION:

The New Process 203 is a chain-driven transfer case.  This cast iron transfer case is made up of 4 housings.  This transfer case is a good, strong box except for the chain.  This transfer case was used in production vehicles manufactured from GM, Dodge, and Ford.  The Ford transfer case was normally a remote gear box.  The GM and Dodge used an adapter to mount the NP203 directly to the stock transmission.  Since the front of these transfer cases look the same, identifying the difference between the Dodge and GM transfer case without the stock adapter housing should only be done by counting the transfer case input splines.  The GM versions include:  a female 27 input spline (originally coupled to a TH350 transmission), a female 10 spline (originally coupled to a SM465 transmission), and a female 32 spline (originally coupled to a TH400 transmission) input gear.  The adapters we offer for these transfer cases will normally require the use of your stock transfer case adapter.
