NOTE: If new middle shaft gears that mate with
the bull gear or reverse idler are installed in the
transfer case, orientation of the gears on the
shaft is unimportant. Once a wear pattern is
established on the gear teeth, orient the gears to
maintain that wear pattern. It may be necessary
to mark the gear to identify its original orienta-
tion.

• The middle shaft.
• The 26-tooth final pinion. The final pinion is held
onto a splined section of the middle shaft by a
snap ring. The flat side of the pinion faces the
ring, while the shouldered side of the pinion
abuts the high gear.
• The 33-tooth high gear spins freely on the mid-
dle shaft, held in-place by the final pinion. The
teeth that engage the shift dog face the teeth on
the middle shaft that drive the shift dog.
• The snap ring.
