Transfer Case & AWD/RWD Conversion

Shop ZF 8HP transfer-case adapters and AWD-to-RWD conversion kits for BMW, Dodge/RAM, Jeep Trackhawk, Land Rover, Nissan Patrol, Skyline GTR and Toyota builds. Every part here does one of two jobs: keep all-wheel drive by mating an 8HP to a specific transfer case, or delete front drive so the gearbox runs rear-wheel drive. Start with the exact gearbox code and output arrangement, not the photo. Similar-looking hardware hides different splines, flanges and support requirements.

Find your 8HP AWD to RWD conversion kit

An AWD-to-RWD conversion kit replaces the front-drive output arrangement so an all-wheel-drive 8HP can drive a rear-wheel-drive chassis. Confirm the gearbox code, the donor configuration and the output style named on the listing before you buy.

8HP AWD to RWD Conversion Adapter Kit the general-purpose starting point for an AWD 8HP going rear-drive.
Dodge 8HP70/75 RAM AWD to RWD (1350 output) for RAM 8HP70 and 8HP75 all-wheel-drive applications.
Dodge 8HP95 Trackhawk AWD to RWD (1350 output) for the 8HP95 used in Trackhawk-class builds.
Land Rover 8HP AWD to RWD (1350/Supra) for Land Rover 8HP applications, named by output style.

Output and flange styles are called out in the product name, for example 1350 or Supra. Check the listing and your existing driveline together. The flange on the shelf is not always the flange in your car.

Find your 8HP transfer case adapter

A transfer case adapter keeps all-wheel drive by mating the 8HP to a specific transfer case. These are grouped by the transfer case they suit. If yours is not listed, send the details and we will point you to the closest path.

Conversion kit or transfer case adapter?

These are two different jobs. Choose the conversion kit when you are deleting front drive and running rear-wheel drive. Choose the transfer case adapter when you are keeping all-wheel drive and need to bolt the 8HP to a specific transfer case. Confirming the donor configuration first is cheaper than learning the difference the expensive way.

What to confirm before ordering

An AWD 8HP swap or AWD-to-RWD conversion is a driveline system, not one adapter and a hopeful tailshaft. Work through these five checks first.

Identify the gearbox: record the complete ZF transmission code and whether the donor unit is AWD or RWD.
Confirm the interface: verify spline, flange, transfer-case and output-support compatibility for the exact hardware.
Plan the driveline: check mounts, tailshaft length, output flange, clearance and intended use as one package.
Protect the transmission: confirm lubrication, sealing and support requirements before removing or replacing AWD hardware.
Map the controls: include the controller, harness and shifter plan so the mechanical and electronic sides agree.

Build the complete 8HP driveline

The transfer-case hardware is one line item. Plan the supporting systems at the same time so nothing arrives late or mismatched:

ZF 8HP gearboxes to confirm the exact model you are adapting.
Output flanges and driveline to connect the gearbox to the vehicle.
TCU controllers and harnesses for the control strategy.
Flexplates and drive plates for the engine-to-converter joint.
Cooling and filtration for oil lines, coolers and heat control.
Shifters and controls for the selector and paddle interface.
Engine adapter kits if the engine side is still open.

For the decision process behind these parts, read the 8HP AWD to RWD conversion guide, the 8HP swap buyer's checklist and which ZF 8HP transmission should you buy.

8HP transfer case and AWD-to-RWD FAQ

What should I confirm before buying an 8HP transfer-case or AWD-to-RWD part?

Confirm the exact transmission code, AWD or RWD donor configuration, output and spline details, transfer-case hardware, lubrication and output-support requirements, chassis clearance and tailshaft plan. Similar-looking parts are not proof of fitment.

What is the difference between an AWD to RWD conversion kit and a transfer case adapter?

An AWD to RWD conversion kit removes the front-drive output arrangement so the 8HP drives a rear-wheel-drive chassis. A transfer case adapter keeps all-wheel drive by mating the 8HP to a specific transfer case such as an LT230, HF2AV or Patrol unit. Confirm which result you actually want before ordering.

Can every AWD ZF 8HP transmission be converted to RWD?

Do not assume so. The safe path depends on the exact transmission design, donor hardware and the required lubrication, sealing and output support. Confirm the specific conversion path before ordering parts.

How do I know which transfer case adapter fits my setup?

Match the transfer case first, then the gearbox. This page groups adapters by transfer case, including Land Rover LT230, Toyota HF2AV, Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61 and Skyline R32 to R34 GTR. Check the individual listing for spline and hardware details.

Does an 8HP AWD-to-RWD adapter kit include every part needed for the conversion?

Inclusions vary by product. Check the individual product listing and confirm the required output flange, tailshaft, mount, controller, shifter and supporting hardware for the complete build.

Can you help if my transfer case or gearbox is not listed here?

Yes. Send the transmission code, donor vehicle, chassis, output photos and intended driveline layout through the contact page and we will point you to the closest available path.
