We are officially launching our Magnitude 205 transfer case.

371E09A7-88E4-46F1-8DD7-C3F9DFA597EE.JPEG











FIND IT HERE ---->>>> MAGNITUDE 205




Our Magnitude 205 was built out of the need to have the smoothest shifting transfer case on the market. From the start of Magnitude, we set out to have the finest transfer case on the market with features not found on any other case. We made a list of must-have features and we exceeded all of our goals. Our shifting mechanism is the smoothest on the market, featuring 4104 heat-treated shift rails and 100% internal shift interlocks and detents all contained within the main case body. The Magnitude 205 case body is split near the center of the housing rather than on the flange surface to increase the strength of the case bodies and allow easier assembly. Other industry-leading features include an integrated idle shaft cover increasing idle shaft bearing oil flow, oil sight tube standard, along with custom zinc plated hardware for rust prevention.


  • 6061 billet aluminum case bodies not a cast housing.
  • Switchable drivers or passenger drop
  • Supports stock or Lomax gears
  • AR-500 shift forks machined post welding for precise shifting
  • 100% internal shift interlocks
  • Zero, negative 7, and negative 14 deg clocking
  • Fits both 6-bolt round patterns
  • 4140 heat-treated shift rails
  • 4140 pre-hard shift interlocks
  • O-rings where applicable
  • Fits 90MM input bearing and 80MM front and rear output bearings
  • Jack bolts to aid in splitting the cases should service be needed.
  • Integrated rear idle shaft plate, with extended bore depth to add oil flow capacity to the idle shaft bearings.
  • Oil Sight Tube
  • Made in the USA


Includes: Front and Rear Case Bodies, Two Shift Forks, Two Shift Rails, Two Shift Interlock Pins, Two Shift Interlock Covers, Adjustable Detents, Front Output Bearing Housing, Sight Tube, O-rings, and Hardware Kit.

This is a DIY case for you to install your gears, bearings, seals, shafts, etc.

What is the wieght difference compared to a stock iron case and can it be pass or driver drop?
It depends on the stock NP205 case weight which vary greatly from case to case. The empty Magnitude case is ~27.3 lbs. They can be switched from pass to driver drop at any time by pulling it partly apart and reconfiguring.

I'm curious how it compares to an assembled say ford or GM 205?
 
That’s great. Best of luck and hoping for your success in this difficult market. Looking forward to your d300 case as an upgrade to my stock case one day.

Any reason this 205 case or the 300 case wouldn’t be compatible with NWF Integrated style doublers?

No reason that we are aware. We might have reduction boxes in the works as well. ;-)
 
D300 interest here...parts collecting for a new buggy... 2.3, C4, D300, Maxdrive, JHF portal 9's, JHF billet C's and boxes...working on the chassis decision (which seems to be the hardest part....)
 
Here is a shot of our original prototype case that has countless days wheeling some of the hardest trails in the country. We popped this case apart for inspections more times than we can count before sending a small batch of cases to local wheelers for further testing.

This case is running factory stock 205 gears, 32 spline input and output and is still in use. During testing it was behind a supercharger, along with a 241 based planetary reduction unit and felt the abuse of 42” Sticky Treps it’s entire life.

The np205 rear shaft and output housing can be redesigned to be shorter and stronger. No need for the speedometer gear section on off road or vss vehicles. That would be a good product development for your company. Offering the rear output housing in aluminum or steel would also be a good idea.

Already in the works.
 
I assume the answer is yes but for clarification. I currently have a lomax 205. With this case I can run the lomax gears in a drivers side drop configuration? (Something lomax does not offer)

Please give some more details on the "Maxdrive," I've never heard of it. Does it have something to do with Clibon's "clutched" rear drive or Jesse's reverser?

Also, are the Toyota centers not holding up for you to want to go to Ford stuff, or are you trying to get ultra low reduction in the axles?

I am interested to see the Dana 300 offering! I was one of the people that ordered a MMW case, but I ended up having to buy an Atlas. It would be nice to get ~25Lbs. out of the chassis.

Would this be something that could be retrofitted to an existing cast 205? While I love the idea of an aluminum case, it's not in my budget. But I would certainly entertain a shorter rear output allowing for better driveshaft angle.

Yes pretty much anything NP205 besides the 3-1 Lomax gears is interchangeable with almost any NP205 combination.

The Maxdrive is Clibons wet clutch release, can be used front and rear. He has some cool stuff in development....
I've had zero issues with the Toy8" diffs, but the 9's are definitely stronger. If I decided to build a new one, I'm trying for nearly bulletproof.

Kinda funny since the 357 lovell case had clutched outputs like 20 years ago.

That was a fucking genius TCase.
I heard there was some still around, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could find a 3:1 unit.
 
An air shifted NP205 would be fantastic. The shift fork roll pin diameter would need to be one size bigger imo. There used to be a diy thread on the old site on how to do it.

We already increased the size of the roll pin to 1/4" along with significantly tightening the fitment between the shift fork and shift rail.
