transfer case removal

ok so can only find 5 bolts to remove Transfer Case (Dana 20 I believe)if this is correct then why will it not come off? guessing it will take a little convincing! this is on my 76 CJ5

You probably will have to pry it loose. There should be a gasket in between and my guess that is what is holding it in.

Thanks Purple, thats what I did and yup she is out. got the pans off and other than being dirty all gears look like brand new (little to no wear on gear teeth). I think a good cleaning and gasket/seal kit is in order and she is ready to go. So what would be a good auto for replacing the manual?, any opinions?.

If I were to put in an auto tranny I thought a 700R4 would work, but I don't know that much about auto tranny's.
