You can find Rubi transfer cases at many of the JK engine swap shops. They go like hot cakes though and you have to make sure you get the right one for your JK. Since I have an automatic tranny I had to find a 2012 or later Rubicon with automatic transmission. Patience and persistence required. Check with lswrangler.com or turnkeyengine.com. I got mine from Turnkey last month.

Just know that if you have an automatic late model JK Sport and you install a Rubi transfer case you will have to get the PCU programmed to the new transfer case ratio.

3 options...


Find one out of a wrecked Rubicon(this is what I have)

Find one from a guy who upgraded

Go to the dealer and buy a brand new one

Start looking online and searching salvage yards they are out there. Be sure it is a "rock-trac 4:1" model

As you know the Non-Rubi case sucks!

If you have the 6spd. you are either going to slow and it stalls or your going too fast and you start banging your Jeep around.

The Rubi case will allow you to "crawl" and you will not need the clutch as much while offroading.

I have one. Was looking through the threads and noticed you want a Rubi t case. I bought mine from Motech(mentioned in this thread) and don't need it now. I'm in So Cal and can ship it.

If it's for a 2012 automatic, I'm interested.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. Got confused after some questions about fitment for the T case from someone else. I called Robbi at Motech at the T case is out of a 10 or '11 JK. Has less than 40k miles on it. I bought it from them a few months ago, went a different direction with my project and don't need it. If you still want it I'm asking $1000 + shipping is about $75-100.
