I have a GM 261 transfer case that I am looking to sell. Ratio is 272 and assy no. is 1575 3787. All this is off of the new process gear tag. I dont know anything about these, but do know it came out of a 01/02 truck that was rolled. It has roughly 60K miles on it and appears very clean. Anyone know what its worth is?

Thanks,

JP

 

is it the pushbutton 4wd model or the t-case with the shifter threw the floor?

 

I believe the NP series were push button and used from 99-06. As for their worth, really up to the market demand and condition of the transfer case. I know they arnt very stout and people swap them out for stronger units when they start slipping/blow up so your market is narrowed to people just wanting a stock replacement. (I.e. someone left it in 4hi on the road)

 

If it's auto trac they tend to burn up clutches apparently. I have one with bad clutches. Luckily i have a spare.

 

I've only seen them burn up clutches if ran with mis-matched tires or gear ratios. I use mine every day in the winter(under boost), and alot in the summer when I need the traction for a kill.

 

Just an FYI but the 261 isnt pushbutton. The 246 is the pushbutton transfer so im pretty sure he has the manual shift transfer.

 

Thanks for the replies. I have learned it is a manual shift. I have also listed it locally (Houston area) on craigslist.

 

Yep, np261 is the one in the manual 4wd NBS trucks. From what I can tell they are pretty stout, I havent heard that many issues about them except for the pump rubbing on the case causing a leak eventually. The HD versions is the np263, and the autotrac one is the np246

 

I gutted my auto crap and went with a manual only keeping the push buttons for fr diff lock those clutch set ups are a joke. Left me stuck in the local mud holes a few times before I found out about the clutches in them. clutch in a tcase stupid imo.
