Transfercase adapter price?

[motormayhem]

What do the adapters that go between the th400 and np208 go for? Mine is broke and there is a guy in town who has one, but he doesn't know what he wants for one.

like 10 bucks lol you can get them out of the junk yard for almost free

I was given one free from one of the SS members here when I found that GL had "modified" mine with their handy forklift.
I just paid shipping costs. So I'd agree that $10.00 would be fair!

Actually, I was the guy who gave up the adapter.

The local transmission shop owner, who builds transmissions and driveline stuff for off-roaders tells me that it can go for a lot of dough, depending on the market and buyer.

As he explained it, in an area with a lot of off-road types, these can bring big money due to the way it carries so much of the driveline weight. He said that if a motor mount gives way under load, the adaptor generally goes too.

The real question might be, what's the local off road situation versus scrap value?

Yeah and thanks again, Lance. I didn't use your name 'cause i didn't know if you would mind. BTW it still is working just fine!

From what I see, they usually sell in the $75 range. Sure you are going to see some cheaper, and some higher, but it is a fairly common adapter. I usually have an extra or two if someone gets in a bind.

$10.00!!!!! Wow I guess that IS fair!! Salvage yards in NJ get $75.00 the local yard here in PA gets $50.00 and does sell them at that price. If anyone can get them for $10.00 you should buy one just for a spare. Just my opinion

Hawkman, I understand that you are in the business of selling. And from what I have seen, you supply good and sometimes hard to get parts that have helped many people. But, as I understood the original post, this was one friend selling to another friend. And as a friend, I would not expect another friend to pay market price.
Also, here in Indiana, we have pic-a-part yards where $10.00 for this piece is about normal.
I respect that you have a differing opinion. But do you need the sarcasm?

 

[motormayhem]

Well the local guy I alked to called me and said he wants $100 for it and the pick your part said $75. So I am going to call a buddy who has tons of blazer parts and see what he has to say.

You need the tall adapter right? I've gotta go to work now, but I will ask around. Those prices seem awfully high to me.

Take it anyway you like, I'm saying that $10.00 is a great price and if I had the opportunatey to get one for $10.00 I'd jump on it considering the going commercial prices............not everyone is a wiseguy..

Sorry I couldn't get out and see if I could find any cheaper. With our snow and work, I haven't been able to get away much.
