rcapone Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I broke my stock NP 149 transfer case last weekend at the track, did a little web searching and came across a company called Rockland Standard Gear who claims to make a direct plug n play replacement that is much better than the NP 149. It's the Borg Warner 4473. Has anyone ever heard of this replacement and/or gear company? Any recommendations on how best to proceed? Thank you!

RCNap12986 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does it have the 80e input shaft or will the one from the 149 fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 i actually looked into them when i had mine rebuilt last month..If i remember it had something to with the case being stronger? The person I spoke to says it's not only the case but the internals are better/stronger as well Does it have the 80e input shaft or will the one from the 149 fit? Since it's a direct replacement, I would assume one would have to still swap out the input shaft for the 80e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hey Randy; What part / parts broke in the 149? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Fuggit, I just ordered a reman NP 149 from LKQ which will be here this Thursday! Thanks anyway guys! Good deal. I have heard the 4473 was a pretty problematic t case when you hit it with some power. Never owned one myself though, but I def would have gone the route you did.
