Description
RF1A Gear Driven REMANUFACTURED Transfer Case with Trail-Gear Dual Case Adapter installed with second gear reduction case.
All assembled Dual Case sets feature 2.28 gears in the front case and 4.7 gears in the rear case. Rear transfer case is a Top Shifting style case.
Match the transmission Input shaft spline count, it will either be 21 or 23-spline, see the chart below for application guide. You can choose the front case shifter style to also match the transmission and application you are using. Also, there is the option for the rear case being set up for standard or twin-sticks. By choosing to have the rear case set up for twin-sticks the 2WD/4WD interlock pin will not be installed allowing for a twin-stick top shifters to be used. With twin-sticks will allow you to independently shift High/Low and 2WD/4WD.
All transfer case do not include shift levers.
This transfer case is remanufactured with Trail-Gear and OEM Components. The low-speed gear, countershaft, and input shaft are all Trail-Gear. It uses Genuine Toyota Seals, OEM Output shaft, Idler shaft, and High-Speed gears. The bearings are Koyo and feature Triple Drilled Flanges.
All transfer case pieces are glass beaded and all surfaces are machined flat, to ensure a perfect seal.
Features:
Front Input Spline: 21 or 23
Front Gear Ratio: 2.28:1
Rear Input Spline: 23
Rear Gear Ratio: 4.7:1
Rear Shifter Type: Top Shift
Interlock Pin: Installed or Not Included
Transmission Compatibility Information:
Trucks equipped with V6 engines and Turbocharged 4 Cyl engine will have 23-Spline output shafts and will require 23-spline input on the transfer case. All other engine applications will be 21-spline. Note: The R150F that was equipped in the 1988-1995 3VZ-FE V6 trucks will require an addition adapter to run dual cases.

Installation of Dual Cases will require modifications of drivelines and floorboards.
Identifying the RF1A
You are able to identify if you have an RF1A transfer also known as the Toyota Gear Driven case by the number of bolts on the back case cover. If you have 7 bolts on the cover you have an RF1A, Gear Driven case. If you only have 5 bolts then you have a chain driven case.
Difference between Top and Forward Shift Transfer cases
The Differences between Top Shift and Forward shift is fairly self explanatory. A Top Shift RF1A will have the shifter directly on top of the reduction box and alternatively a forward shift RF1A will have shift rails extending out the front with a block off plate on top of the reduction box.

Spline Information
For stock applications the only transfer cases that used 23 spline are the 1986 and 1987 Turbo trucks and 4Runners. All other stock 1979-1995 trucks and 4Runners used the 21 spline. If you are build a dual case set up or custom application the 23 spline output shaft is stronger than the 21 spline. However it is important to know your application to be sure it will work in your attend application.

RF1A Transfer Case Shift Shaft Modifications
Any RF1A transfer case being mated to an L-series transmission or using a V6 adapter will require shortened shift shafts. The shift rails from early RF1A cases are already shorter, but later model rails will need modification.
Shift Rail Shortening Procedure
For later-model RF1A cases, shorten the shift rails as follows:
- 2WD/4WD Rail: Cut to 6-7/8″ total length, measuring from the rear of the rail forward.
- High/Low Rail: Cut to 5-1/4″ total length, measuring from the rear of the rail forward.
Current Shop Practice
- All top-shift cases are being cut unless confirmed not to be used behind an L-series transmission or V6 adapter.
On-Vehicle Rail Cutting (Not Recommended)
- It is possible to cut the rails on an assembled case.
- This can be done by shifting the rail to its forward-most position and cutting as close to the case as possible.
- However, this method is not recommended due to potential complications.
Common Transmissions Mated to the RF1A Transfer Case
- L43, L45, L50, L52 Top shift
- G52, G54 4-1/2 forward shift
- W56 A or B Top shift
- W56 C, D or E 4”forward shift
- R151F 4-1/2 forward shift
- R150F using an adapter plate, (requires shift rail modifications)
