If you need a transfer case and you don't have the money for an atlas or other options this a cheap and awesome option. A transfer case out of a Bronco 2 automatic or manual tranny. Will fit on the 95-96 transmisson either five speed Mazda R-1 or 4-R55E. It was the best thing I ever did. I blew up six stock Explorer transfer cases then I put the manual Bronco 2 transfer case and I havn't had a problem yet. The only mod I did to fit the case was to modify the front driveshaft from the Bronco to transfer case, shortening it to make it fit. :D

Its either a BW 1350 or 1354. The 1354 has the front output flange instead of a slipyoke. The 1350 you can pickup anywhere for nothing. The 1354 is more expensive, and the manual version of it is not only hard to find but quite a bit more expensive.

also when or if u do this conversion u need to get different bolts to bolt the transfer case on. stock explorer bolts wouldn't work so dont thread them in.

..u need to get different bolts to bolt the transfer case on. stock explorer bolts wouldn't work so dont thread them in.I swapped the 4405 for a man.1354 - I used the old bolts that held on the 4405.

Also when u do the transfer 1350 manual shift conversion u gain a 2wd low range by not lockin the frt hubs with 4x4 switch give u a imaginary second stick making a fast and easy gear option instead of buyin more expensive t-case 2 do tat

I'm Installing A Transmition In My 97 Explorer. It's Got The 5r55e In It. Can Anyone Give Me Some Tips On The Proper Way To Get At The Top Two Bolts

Its been a while but I think the easiest way is to remove the tunnel cover from the inside. Then you have access to it from the top.

Use either a wobble extension or a socket with a universal connected to it. It makes the job much easier.
