Land Cruiser Prado Transfer Case Drive Chain 36293-35040

This is the transfer case output shaft drive chain sold by Toyota as 36293-35040. It links the input side to the front output in the full-time and part-time transfer cases used on the Land Cruiser Prado 120/125 (2002-2009), the Prado 150/155 from 2009, and Hilux 4WD models from 1997-2005 plus the 2.5 and 3.0 D-4D KUN25/KUN26 trucks.

A stretched chain is behind most of the clunks and slap noises out of these cases: a knock when shifting between drive and reverse, a rattle that changes with throttle, or a front driveline that engages late. Once the chain has stretched far enough it can wear grooves into the case housing, so replacing it at the first sign of noise saves the housing.

On the bench: drain the case, remove the rear extension and split the housing, then pull the chain together with both sprockets. Inspect the sprocket teeth and bearings, install the new chain over the sprockets as a set, reassemble with fresh sealant and refill with the correct gear oil.

Check that 36293-35040 matches your parts lookup before ordering; other Toyota transfer cases use different chains.
