Here some update
After some hard work the last weeks at my MK1 carrier,we have take away the new top armour, the tracks,the pedals, take out the engine and transfercase.
We wants to strip the carrier totaly and after grit blast we start to build up the carrier.
After we had open the transfercase and look inside we saw that we needs some new parts for it(see pictures).
So still a lot of work to do.

Hi Marcel, The transfer, I call the gear box.
The gear you show is the countershaft or cluster gear from a non syncromesh (crash) box. It is the same in Ford 4 speed and Dodge (WC) 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4 speed.
