What fluid goes in a GM transfer case?
Conventional transfer cases require SAE 80W or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant. Full time systems use SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 engine oil. Conventional transfer cases require DEXRON®II transmission fluid.
Is the NP205 a good transfer case?
This transfer case is considered by most people to be nearly indestructible in most applications. The GM SM465 manual versions of the NP205 had a male 10-spline input, and the TH350 automatic mated to a 27-spline male input, both using drive sleeves to mate the transfer case shaft to the transmission shaft.
What years did Chevy use the NP205 transfer case?
The NP203 was used from 1971 to 1978. This transfer case was mated to the TH350, TH400, and SM465 transmission. In 1981, GM introduced the NP208 chain-driven transfer case. The NP208 also has a circular bolt pattern, and had either a 27 or 32 spline input.
What fluid goes in a NP203 transfer case?
Yup, 30 wt motor oil is correct for an NP203. The NP203 is easy to identify as it’s a large cast iron housing with an aluminum tail housing.
How much does a 203 Transfer Case Weight?

How much fluid does a NP205 hold?
the 465 will hold about 4 quarts and the 205 will hold about 3. If you buy two gallons it’ll be just right to fill both.
What fluid does a NP205 take?
Registered. As has been discussed in previous posts, NP205 transfer cases require 80-90wt Gear oil.
Will a NV4500 bolt to a NP205?
The output shaft on the NV4500 is the same size/spline as the NP205 I used. I also used the ‘coupling’ from the NP205 to join them together, and as far as the cases go, it is a direct bolt-together.
How strong is a NP205?
All Inside the NP205 This transfer case is considered by most people to be nearly indestructible in most applications. The cast iron housing combined with beefy internals puts this case weight at nearly 140 pounds dry. High-range gearing is 1:1, and the NP205 has a low-range ratio of 1.96:1.
