OK, now I understand. I thought for sure that the auto tranny looked
fairly normal from underneath, I guess I missed the reduction hump in the=

tail section of the tranny. I was thinking that the transfer case had t=
he
planetary set in it to provide the two speed hi-low ranges. So the
transfer case must be pretty simple compared the the automatic trans. Th=
is
is all starting making sense. So if a swap was made, say a Chevy 350 wit=
h
turbo 400 into an M211 then the low range would be lost as has been said
earlier since the turbo 400 doesn't have a reduction gear for hi-lo range=
=2E =

You don't happen to know whta the hi-low range reduction ratio is do you?=
??
=

The M35's has a 5 speed manual transmission right? Is the high-low
reduction in the manual trans also. Or do the 211 and M35's have
different transfer cases with a hi-lo range built into the transfer case?=

Thanks for clearing this up. I did have a killer headache the other day,=

but it's gone now. (;->)

The front part looks like a normal transmission, but then theres this big=

circular hump in the rear section. This is where the reduction unit is
housed. This is do to the cone-type clutch. Also, from what I've heard, i=

is true that it's basically the same transmission used in the Cadillac's =

no reduction units on Cadillacs.)<
