Que significa el "Split" case?

Land Cruisers produced before 1963 used a small cast iron transfer case coupled to a manual 4 speed transmission. No adapters are available for this drivetrain. In 1963, Toyota began using a one piece aluminum transfer case coupled to a 3 speed manual transmission. This transfer case had a 10 spline input gear. Beginning in 1974, Toyota changed the transmission to a 4 speed manual. Although they continued using the same transfer case, they changed the input gear to 16 splines. In August of 1980, Toyota once again changed the drivetrain. The manual 4 speed was still being used; however, the transfer case had been upgraded to a split-case design with a 19 spline input gear.
