96 Disco transfer case

[tko4irish]

Seeking a transfer case for my 96 Disco 4.0L AT, have located units at Quality Auto Parts, SharperEdgedEngines.com, and CarCannibal.com....any experience with any of those sources or have better ideas? thanks!

First, if you have to replace your's go to a new t5/case, say a 97 or 98, they have a lot less problems.
If you are looking for a good used t/case you might want to contact Paul Grant for a good price and large selection.

is the '97 or '98 T5 case an identically appearing, straight bolt in replacement? I am working with a shop that is already pretty sensitive about me bringing them the parts...please advise, thanks!

The 96 t/case had many flaws including bad bearing oiling and seals.
If the shop gets the feeling hurt easily better find a new one.
By the way, how much were they going to charge for that used 96 t/case.

Hi, the transfer cases I had located are as follows:

Car Cannibal $495 shipped, 98k miles, 6 mo warranty
Sharper Edged Engines $600 shipped, 58k miles, 90 day warranty
Quality Auto Parts $480 shipped, A grade, 30 day warranty

I am obviously open to suggestions and other sources. Thanks for your feedback.

Pretty stout prices.
What years were those t/cases from?

So you are willing to pay easily twice the money for one of the worst t/case used in a 96!
You can buy a newer model for much less.

I would rather not over-pay, which is why I am inquiring on this forum. I appreciate everybodys help thus far. Pls help me know where I can get the newer transfer cases for less..thanks!
