- Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
I had to make a custom trans mount because I went with a bw4406 manual shift transfer case out of a 2001 f150. I used the front driveshaft out of the same f150 with a conversion u-joint to mount back to my ranger front end. I cut 1 inch off of the slip yoke and splines to give me some play because the front shaft was a 1/4 inch to long and would not fit. I read where the f150 front shaft was a drop in but mine didn't work that way. I used the explorer rear drive shaft and had the f150 front yoke welded on to slide into the back of the transfer case.
