Got the shifter on order, they have a nice price online right now, but not sure how long the special is out for...

http://www.artcarr.com

I'm keeping the standard valve body, but tweaking some things. Shifter gate plan is per attached.

This will allow fast shifts between 1st or 2nd into either Neutral or Reverse....basically, trimming out those three tabs

cruiserrg · 12-07-04, 08:26 AM

I was thinking of making one simular to this to this one, just have the rught neutral tab smaller to allow direct into N. Also have numbers swaped since my VB is reverse. I want to keep the gating for most gears, just have quick 1-R and 1or2-N to keep from endo or bad sitchs.

Pansy assed automatic drivin, yellow beer swillin, cheese wearin.

I think that's next winter's project...

wngrog · 12-07-04, 08:28 PM

Shit, looks like it is going to take you all winter to fix that rear axle

Eskimo · 12-07-04, 10:17 PM

Making your own shifter plate? or farming it out?

I'm not crazy about the one I have either...

Reverse VB is in the future, but for the time being, I really like cruiserrg's design.

woody · 12-08-04, 06:47 AM

just trimmin the tabs on the stock plate...piece of cake...

tho, it'd be VERY easy to make yer own too....

Eskimo · 12-08-04, 10:53 AM

I just picked up some thin diamond plate the other day.. might have to make one that blings!

With the 4.7's in my t-case, I have a funny feeling I'll be running around in 2nd and 3rd for alot of the hillclimb scenarios where i'd need a quick hit to N or R... so a reverse VB may not help much, as the shifter would be just as far away... 1st will be a very slow crawl...

I drew this up very quickly, and my reasoning for it is:

1: the need for a quick second (or third) -to-reverse change
2: still allowing me to lock into 4th for the road (so I won't knock it into reverse at 45mph)
3: keep 1 & 2, 2 & 3 as a isolated pair, since that's what'll be used most often with my gearing and terrain (1&2 for slow rocks, 2&3 for climbs)

If this is moronic or unsafe, lemme know.. I got the shifter used, and it takes a deliberate effort to move it side-to-side, so I was thinking this could add in some "oops" prevention in itself.

Woody and Reuben,
give me dimensions and I'll get them punched in stainless for you, you'll have to get the letters engraved yourselves though.

woody · 12-08-04, 06:50 PM

Niner, I'll show ya mine before it's installed so you can template....mine will work stock, reubie is goin fer custom tho....

Niner · 12-09-04, 12:37 AM

I thought you were looking for BLING! Since you used to give me crap for the autos.

obviously the auto crap will stop...

the limited slip crap will continue....

I'll have the shifter in hand next week and can see if the stock gate is bling-enuf or not...lol

Niner · 12-09-04, 10:10 PM

I still don't like changing Axle shafts.

woody · 12-10-04, 01:09 PM

purty....

Sweet. Chris can you also do the rolling to get the required bend needed? See if you can talk woody into sending his over for a template to be made.

Niner · 12-13-04, 01:12 AM

I can punch but I would need a radius for rolling the bend. Because of the shortness of the piece it would be hard to roll. find a tire the pipe or something the correct radius to roll and bend yourself.

yeah I can take care of the bend, PM me on what it will cost me and what information you need.

Could you punch it out of a longer piece, roll it, and cut it back to the desired length?

I could but I prefer the sheered edges rather than the saw marks. plus a piece like that should be very easy to roll on a piece of pipe.

cruiserrg · 12-20-04, 06:47 PM

Now I just have to tear into mine and figure out a wat to add a park/neutral switch(s) in there.
