Wondering if a gear driven NP205 would be stronger than a NV271? I dont see a cast iron gear drive t-case breaking easily.

And is the cast iron tail shaft housing on an NV4500 a good upgrade?
 
from what i have gathered the 205s output shaft sucks i think there is a thread on here about it... better off goin with a 271
 
you can get a billet output but that transfers the breaking point to inside the case then.....

It just depends on the output shaft there is about 5 different splined one.

Id say the internals off the 205 are king and if for some reason they break low-max makes an upgrade which are about twice the size
 
profab makes nice billet internals as well but then it's all-time-4lo and no longer selectable but it can take the heat. It's what is in Kyle Michael's Climax truck. ;)

My vote goes to the 271...

Unless like mentioned above you replace all the internals with billet $$$$ pieces, but then it wouldn't be a 205 vs. 271 discussion anymore...
