The difference between the up to 7/2015 and post 7/2015 is the bolt circle diameter size.
Pre 7/2015 is 105mm, and post 7/2015 is 96mm. The door jamb date should tell you exactly, or the last 7 of your vin.

I have just ordered the 105mm Febi brand giubo in all rubber from a local friend with a Worldpac account, and I will be changing mine to all rubber.


To reiterate, this has nothing to do with power upgrades or tuning, but rather the natural vibration from the engine, and not enough absorption of those vibrations. The output flange not being pressed is a mistake in design for use with this engine. Loctite 648 on an unworn flange, plus a rubber giubo should prevent that wear from jitter/vibration at that location.

FYI, the US 535xd with 255hp/413tq uses the same exact transfer case, the ATC 35L.
