GM TH350 AUTOMATIC TO

JEEP DANA 300 TRANSFER CASE

GM TH350 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC

The General Motors TH350 has a case length of 21-1/2", 13 bolts holding the oil pan in position, and is available in two
different engine to transmission bolt patterns. The case is available with a Chevy bolt pattern that has the top two holes
8-1/4" apart, or a Buick bolt pattern that has the top two holes 7" apart. The rear side of the transmission case should have
a square bolt pattern that uses 4 bolts. There are several various lengths of output shafts that these transmissions have
been furnished with and you must make sure the proper shaft has been installed into the transmission for use with our
transfer case kit. We standardize our kits on the GM 4WD output shafts that were used in vehicles 1973-79. All TH350
output shafts will have 27 splines. The speedometer gear is normally located in the tailhousing, but when adapting it to
the transfer case, the location will change to the backside of the transfer case. The rear transmission support is located
in the main case just forward of the tailhousing connection. This can be used for supporting the crossmember on some
installations, but most of our kits provide support on the new adapter housing.

When installing the new transfer case adapter, make sure that the coupler and the output shaft do not bottom out. We have
found on occasion that a transmission output shaft may be slightly longer than what we have allowed for; and when coupling
into our new spud shaft, we find a small amount of interference. The adapter housing and spud shaft must be assembled
to the back of the transmission without interference. DO NOT FORCE THE NEW TAILHOUSING ONTO THE

TRANSMISSION. If assistance is needed, please feel free to call the number listed above.

When assembling the adapter housing to the transmission case, we have provided you with a new square-type "O" ring
seal to prevent fluid leakage. This seal is a stock GM item that is used on all installations. We have also provided a gasket
for the Dana 300 to adapter surface. We also recommend a small amount of silicone be used on both surfaces. Loctite
should be used on all fasteners.

All installations will require the use of a transmission cooler. The cooler can be either installed in the radiator or a remote
location is acceptable. The transmission shift control can either be a Hurst floor mounted type shifter or sometimes the
existing column shift can be modified on certain applications.

INSTALLATION:

This kit comes pre-assembled with the bearing, snap rings, and spud shaft installed in the casting. The bearing and spud

1.
shaft are a press fit. The spud shaft is pressed to the bearing and the snap ring installed to retain the spud shaft properly.
The bearing and spud shaft assembly are also a press fit into the adapter housing. The bearing and spud shaft are pressed
into the casting. This assembly is retained with the provided snap ring.

2. Install the o-ring on the casting and use a small amount of silicone to provide a good seal. Bolt the adapter assembly
to the TH350 transmission.

3. Using a thin film of silicone on both sides of the transfer case gasket, install the transfer case and gasket to the adapter
assembly. The studs in the Dana 300 should locate the transfer case in the proper rotation, and the Dana 300 front
alignment retainer should properly index the transfer case.

4. The Advance Adapters crossmember mount will bolt to the bottom of the adapter casting. Mark and drill new holes
in the skid plate to secure the transmission assembly to the skid plate.

5. Make sure all fasteners are secured and Loctite is used.
