A fellow at a auto parts told me to pull the tone ring off of the shaft, then remove the to snap rings, then remove the shaft from the bearing. And that was what I had to do to get the shaft out. It says "Do Not Remove" right on the side of the tone ring but I can find no reason why I should...

This is a bw4407. Different to the bw4401. This one doesn't have the clutch coil in it that I can see. I have watched this video about 3 or 4 times in the last few days just hoping I would see something that would help. But thanks for the video. Anything could help.

I have both manuals and they don't go into the transfer case at all. They show a little on how to remove it and don't show a thing about tear down or rebuild. I already checked both of them. I really thought the Chilton manual would have shown more but they didn't either.

I have always used the diagram that lays out the parts and have always been able to see where and what I have to do. But this time it would be pretty helpful with a manual.

I'm not sure that has to be done... Just yet anyway. I just got to get some advice first on why the main shaft will not come out of the rear case. I was thinking the clutch coil has something to do with it but I really need some input on this one. I usually figure these things out but not this...

Does anyone know why the main shaft will not come out of the rear case. Is there a snap ring or is it just not coming out of the rear output bearing. It has the clutch coil in this location and was wondering if this has something to do with the main shaft coming out of the rear case. I got my...

Well, got my bear and seal kit and chain and oil pump is supposed to be here in a day or so. But just read that I have to split the tone ring with a hammer and chisel. Now I don't have one of those ordered. At a loss again on this thing. Gotta see if I can get one air freight in here since my...

I think it would slip in the lower gears when taking off it were just the chain. I can get up into 3rd and 4th before it just pops out and starts grinding. but once I lock it in 4 wheel high it will go again. The chain may be bad but I think I have other issues also.. But thanks for the advice.

I know there is some sort of clutch inside the 4401 and I have heard that goes bad sometimes. I am sure I can rebuild it but it is temping to just purchase one and drop it in. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for about 7 years so tearing into a T case doesn't scare me but I just got through...

Is there a way to test to see if there isn't voltage or a electrical problem causing this? And where is a good place to purchase a T case with a 3 year warranty. thanks for your input also..

Just got through rebuilding my NV4500 transmission and got everything back in the truck. But on the test drive when I got up some speed in 3rd and then 4th gear the borg warner 4401 transfer case starts jumping out of drive and is grinding until I push the clutch in. I can get it to go by...

I had to order a counter shaft and input shaft so the money is flowing out now... lol. I am closing on my house in 3 days on the 10th. and just hope that the guy buying it will allow me to finish my truck up and then move all this stuff out of my 51 x 30 shop and its a heck of a lot in here...

Will, this trans was put in brand new quite a few years back but has less than 25,000 miles on it. The synchros are brass and still look great but after pulling top shaft and getting a better look at the gears, I have some roughness on 4th gear and bottom shaft large gear up front is rough...

Winchested... I am in the process of tearing down my nv4500 after it decided to start making a quick grinding noise and then slamming into 4 gear when I had shifted it there. Grind only lasted a second and then a bang but got it torn down and gears and synchro's look good. But little history on...
