I'm in the process of rebuilding my transfer case. I started out just to replace the front output shaft and seals from there it turns out I also need a rear output bearing and as I'm disassembling the TC I find that somewhere along the line someone put the rear circlip that is supposed to be on the outside of the TC on the inside of the TC and last but not least there is a small chunk missing form one of the teeth on the High Gear. So along with all the other parts I need to replace does this gear need to be replaced too or will it be okay the way it is?
To replace or not to replace that is the question

Well, the way I see it, you could spend the $103 now and put a new one in or take a chance on spending much more than $103 and having to take the transfer case out and rebuild it again later.--Mark

Hmmm
There is more than that one flaw on the gear.
Replace.

Replace it. The entire gear looks pitted on several teeth. I've only done a gearbox and transfer case rebuild once - that was enough for me.

Methinks that the gear shown will add to the whines/howls from the transmission, a replacement would be recommended...Les Parker

Looks like I will be replacing a the gear too.
I knew that it was the right thing to do while I was in there anyway but I'ts been a while since I've worked on my long since passed away "232CI 3spd on the floor with MT 50's slapped on the back 71 Gremlin" and thought I would ask just in case.How come dumb stuff always seems so smart when your doing it?

You drove a Gremlin?!
I'm in awe. With its front-heavy weight distribution and short wheelbase, it was a frightening car .

That gear is in the paperweight category. The other thing to remember when you are spending the money is that you can still get a new gear on which to spend the money. That might not be the case in the future. Check the mating surfaces on the other gear while you are in there.Comment

I had a chip just like that out of one tooth on a ring gear, so, being poor at the time, I took a Dremel and smoothed it all out. Wouldn't you know, 14 years later that gear just went all to hell. Teach me to take shortcuts.
actually, I didn't care since I'd sold the truck 6 years earlier to my friend.Comment
