: The BlackBox Planetary GearBox


NorthWestFab
05-06-2008, 10:20 AM
We are Proud to offer the best in underdrive technology to the PBB crowd:

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/blackboxblack.JPG

The Blackbox is an auxillary high (1:1) / low (2.72) gearbox, that is designed to fit between your current transmission/transfer case. This gives you a number of possible ratios:

Blackbox High - Transfer case low
BlackBox Low - Transfer Case High
BlackBox Low - Transfer case Low (multiplied together)
BlackBox High - Transfer Case High

In essence, adding the BlackBox to your current transfer case gives you FOUR speed/crawl selections for your transfer case.

I'm sure you PBB boys know the advanatges adding gearing like this will provide - so let me get down to the raw specs:

This is the ONLY underdrive where the output shaft is directly fixed and supported by bearings at bolt ends. This means significantly more support for both the planetary gears and output shaft.

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/Product%20Pics/bbox%20002.jpg

We machine the case bodys from solid 6061-T6 billet roundstock, which are then hard anodized for durability and corrosion resistance.

Our output shafts are 4340 through hardened alloy steel
http://www.northwestfab.com/images/Product%20Pics/DSC02361t.JPG

Our gears are a 6 pinion planetary system, originally designed by New Venture Gear which rates the gearset to 5500ft-lbs of torque.

Our shift mechanism features adjustable detent pressure, and servicable shift fork pads.

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/Product%20Pics/DSC02381.JPG

The BlackBox uses a standard 6 bolt round pattern used by GM, Ford, Dodge and Jeep, and can also can be adapted to most applications.

The Blackbox also includes a cable shifter for high/low selection

The Total Black Box Kit Includes The Following:

1 Black Box Planetary Gear Unit 2.72:1 Ratio
1 Mounting Ring and Foot
1 Shifter Assembly (Cable)
12 Mounting Studs
2 Mounting Gaskets
Retail Price: $1599.00 USD

Extremely interested in one of these. Few questions:

Are the notches in the case to clear the shift rods on a 205?

Do you have a pic of the cable shifter?

How much would I have to pay in border fees?

What is your lead time on these currently?

NorthWestFab
05-07-2008, 10:27 AM
Yes the notches are to clear a 205's shift rails.

I'll post up a photo of the single lever shortly.

Import I would estimate 20-30$

Lead time varies on the specific order, lets say average is 2 weeks.

Here ya go ....

This is a picture of our Tripple shifter, for those wanting to keep it clean and run a dual cable kit for the transfer case (D300, NP205, Atlas, Stak etc ). The BlackBox comes with a single lever box unless specified.

I like the triple stick cable idea. I'm going to be running it to a 205 but this whole thing is in a rear engine configuration. Do you guys make anything that goes off of the rear of the 205? I can fab one no problem, but sometimes it's just plain worth it to buy something instead.

Would have ordered one by now but I didn't realize how badly my rockwells needed to be rebuilt. Completely going through two steering axles is spendy even without the OEM shafts.

NorthWestFab
05-13-2008, 08:20 PM
Yeah, I'm working on a 'backwards' 205 kit ... I'd give that 6 weeks though, takes a lot of time to get through the samples to a final product.

I definitely understand. Currently I just need an assembled drivetrain to build around. I'll give you call when I'm ready. I'll just order the box, shifter setup, and 1410 yokes all at once.

Do you have a picture of how the shift mechanism attaches to the black box? Sorry for so many requests and questions, but I'm pretty dead set on this thing and want to gather as much info as possible before I drop $1600 on it.

what is the input spline count? I currently have a 23 spline output in my 4L60e, because I am running a jeep 4:1 231. I am looking at this and a D300 flipped to the driver side. will the cable shifter clear the driveshaft if the D300 is flipped? I really dont want to spend the 8-900 on the flip kit if it isnt needed.

Thanks

Depends if you have a Fig 8 205 or round version. We can use a different TH400 tailshaft to really shrink things down if length is an issue. Give me a call and I'll go over your options with you, or PM me your number and time to call I'd be happy to give you some direction.

Is there any plans on making the Blackbox work with my setup? This would be a better option for me at a lower cost.

Not sure if I got this one, my PM outbox was wiped out ...

You will need to convert your 205 to a female type input gear. A factory application of 1980-1984 NP205 from a TH400 will have the correct input shaft - OR have a machine shop bore the input of your 205, and buy the gear 32 spline input (or if you have a freind with a ford 205, the input shaft will work).

You need a billet adaptor from the TH350 to the BlackBox $199
BlackBox - $1599 27 spline in 32 spline out.
Add shifters for the 205 - $299 (reg $329).
Fig 8 - Round adaptor to fit the NP205 pattern $149

Shipping on the above to your zip Via UPS $84.40

A quick search will allow you to find quite a number of cracked 231 crawl boxes. They're typically about 1/8" thick.

The BlackBox is slightly longer as we have an output bearing, the 231 crawler does not.

The Blackbox has a different planetary carrier than a 231.

The BlackBox also has adjustable pressure detent on the shifter mechanism, and includes the shifter itself.

NorthWestFab
11-25-2009, 01:53 PM
Sorry I missed that one guys...

some options for the 465:

a) from a 1981-1991 GM 1/2T or 3/4T truck that had a 208 transfer case behind it. This allows use of a 32 spline output shaft on the 465, and has the correct style mounting adaptor. Generally easy to find parts, the only downside is the adaptor is 7" long.
b) 1985-1991 SM465 from a 1T truck. Has 32 spline output, but a 208 style mounting adaptor needs to be swapped on.
c) Install an aftermarket tailshaft/spud shaft and mounting adaptor onto your existing 465. These generally range from 4-500$ in parts, but are also generally quite short.

The NP205 you will need to swap in a 32 spline input and bearing ($160 for the kit), have the 205 bored out to fit the larger bearing.

There is a Fig8/Round adaptor required to fit that style of 205 onto the Blackbox, if you want to order before the new year I'll toss it in for free.

Sorry kyle mine specifically is from a 1977 3/4 ton truck and it goes on a Land Cruiser. I believe my 465 comes w/ a 10 spline output shaft. If I understand correctly I would have to change my output shaft on the 465 to 32 spline and the female input gear on the 205 to 32 spline

Am I correct?

correct, you need a 32 spline output. If you are in a shorter WB landcruiser, you may want to go the route of an aftermarket 'short' 32 spline tailshaft from advance (which we sell), as the stock one requires an adaptor that is 8" long.

correct, you need a 32 spline input and bearing for the 205, which is $160. you'll need to have your case machined out to fit the larger bearing, usually between $50-75.

Well my fj 40 is about 99.5" wheelbase. if I change what was mentioned above, would this eliminate the OEM adaptor between the 465 and the 205?

It would end up 465+black box+205.

If I need to replace a klune between a ford ZF and ford 205, how long would the set up be?

Our main case is 7.56" Long, and there is a mounting foot that fits between the Ford 205 and BlackBox that is .25" thick. 7.81" long with both together.

We don't use any spacers like the Klune.

Clever thing. Might be an alternative for me. Been looking for doublers for a Dana 300.
So.. If I bolt this onto a D300 and line up on a dragstrip with my 4800lbs 440hp diesel, this will not be the weak link? My current t-case (Mitsubishi) has been the weak link and I'm trying to replace it. Dana+doubler seems to suit me.

Is it possible to get it prepared for divorced mounting towards the gearbox? I have a quite unusual gearbox, will definitly not fit.

Please pm quote for, if possible, a divorced Black Box, fit D300 with three cable stick shifters.

If the NP435 is out of an Early Bronco yes you will need an adapter, if it is out of a full size truck then no you wont.

The 23 Spline is stronger then the 21 Spline.

The Short version is the BlackBox-i, it only works with Dana 300, Bronco Dana 20, Atlas, and Stak.

So if I used the short version would it allow me to "flip" the Dana 300 to driver side drop?

Im trying to find the shortest possible driveline while using one of your reduction boxes and my Np435(that did come out of a truck) that uses the least amount of adapters...

Do you guys think that the later version(73-77) of the Bronco Dana 20 is any stronger/easier to work with then the earlier version?

Correct, the Blackbox will allow the D300 to be flipped.

The later version of the Bronco case is a *bit* better, but the D300 has way more aftermarket and parts support.

As of right now we havent decided on any up coming specials i would guess if we did do one it would not be $100 off.

Basically uses the same internals as the Standard BlackBox, but instead of the output shaft of the BB sliding into the Input of the transfer case the output of the BlackBox-i is the Transfercases Input. It will only work with Dana 300, Bronco D20, Stak or Atlas II.
