205 transfer case mounting?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have pics of the aftermarket poly mount kit for the 205??

I ordered one (still waiting) and I'm a bit confused. As it lists the adapter mount as well as some sort of torque mount.

On our blazer all I see is a mount at the transmission/transfer case adapter. I don't see anything resembling any type of torque arm. Could it be missing something??

I do have a driveline "thud" when you come to a stop, and take off again. I'm sure it's related in some way. The original rubber transfer case mount has seen better days.

Right on, the transmission mounts are the two adapter mounts that bolt to the crossmember. The torsion mount bushings mount the side bracket to the T-case and the frame on the passenger side. I got my poly set from LMC.

Hmmm, that's where the confusion is. I have no such side bracket on the T-case to pass side frame.

Got a picture of what this looks like? I have this sick feeling I'm going to have to find one.

Should look something like this, but it not assembled in the right order

Yep, that's the mount. From what I can tell some guys run it and some don't. I am going to run it when I swap out my Dana 20 case for my new NP205.

most 205 dont have them. they stopped use them at all in 72/73.

you dont need them. but you do need to look at all your ujoints, motor bushings, shock bushings, drive shaft splines, pinion yoke, axle u bolts, there is a ton of stuff that can cause a thud.

some 205's didn't have the mount. Do you have to large threaded holes on the lower right side of the TC? This is my rockewell tranny but it has the same toque mounts...

a clunking sound is more than likely U-joints...

here's the mount that bolts to that area..

Firebird, did you ever find out what caused your clunk? I have something similar going on with the 72 Blazer. I thought when I replaced the differentials with new ring gears, pinions, yokes, new Warn hubs etc. it would go away. Also, I have new brakes (front and back), motor mounts and a newly rebuilt 700r4. But I get a thud sometimes on acceleration after coming to a complete stop. I doubt it is mounts, u-joints, spindles. The only thing left is the NP205 transfer case. Its weird. Any ideas?
