NP205 Short Output

[High Pressure]

Is there a company that manufactures a shorter NP205 output shaft & housing? Or was there a OEM shorter version?

I don't need the speed sensor gear.

If so, how much does it reduce the OAL of the standard 12.5" NP205?

I'm pretty sure the 12.5in is as short as you can get in a 205. You might be able to have someone custom build a new outputshaft housing and output shaft I dont see you gaining much more than 1in though. maybe 1.5in if your lucky.

No but there is a company that make a very short extension housing to bolt up to a 435. I think it is somewhere like 5'' shorter than stock. I think Jeds makes it. Super cool idea in my opinion.

Thanks... JB and NP OE have shortend the NP241 output shafts/housings for both an SYE and speed sensor delete. Seems like someone might have considered the same for the NP205 to delete the speed sensor to save an inch or two. Must not be a market for it.....

Kind of a outdated T case by todays standards while some 205's had long outputs/slip yokes they are generally just converted to the short style with already existing parts.
Also have to figure the application 241 T cases are in jeeps and once lifted they need a shorter output 205s were usually only in longer wheel based vehicles so no big market for shorter outputs.

It's maybe 2.5 inches now, not counting the output seal housing (which you are still going to need) and there is an output bearing near the end that is probably at least 1/2 inch thick. Not sure you would even save 2" overall.
