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)
