I recently purchased a Rock Trac 4.1 transfercase from a 2005 TJ with hopes of rebuilding it and swapping it into my 2001 XJ. When I met the guy selling it I found out the case was already taken apart, and I could see some damaged parts, like wear from a severely loose chain on the rear case half and a damaged speedo tone ring chewed up from a missing dowel pin. But I was overwhelmed with excitement and bought the box of damaged parts anyway. When I got home and fully disassembled the case I found even more damage. The planets in the 4.1 set had a lot of side to side rock and you could see the pins holding them in the carrier were badly worn. So as you can see I have many problems, I'm not sure if I even got all the parts! Can anyone help me that's been inside one of theses cases before? Just general pics of how to stack the gears and details of where the thrust washers and stuff go, I'm pretty sure I didn't get all the little things in my box of parts. I'm also considering replacing the pins that hold the planets in the planetary carrier since the gears themselves all look ok. Now don't freak out, I've already been told by many people that I'm crazy for even thinking about it and that it can't be done. I'm not looking for more of that, just wondering if anyone here has done it before, as I'm certain it can be done. Any help would be welcome.
