How Stiff is Your Stick ?

[ajordan1975]

Seems like you need to play w/ your stick more, and get the juice's flowing more frequently..
don't worry you won't end up w/ hairy palms.

remove shifter assy, torch it, lube it and make/install a new dust boot

So if my t case pops out of low range into neutral whenever I go from drive to reverse and back to drive should I be looking at adjusting the linkage or do I need to open the t-case and and inspect the ball and detect.

My rig has a part time kit installed, I keep wondering if slee screwed the t case up when they installed the part time kit.

I keep putting this off but I need to get it fixed.

@leonard_nemoy Did you ever get this sorted out? I just installed the Sumo low range gears in my transfer case and the only issue I'm having is it jumping out of low into neutral. This usually happens between the 1-2 shift in low range. I also have a part time kit installed.

No I didn't lol. I use a strap to keep it locked back because that seems infinitely easier than tearing into my t-case.

Ok I'm assuming everything you said was innuendo

Not stiff enough, popping out when you go from forward to reverse to forward to reverse

But this whole time you were telling the truth

I just saw this thread after the fact but maybe this can be helpful for someone in the future.

I had the same seemingly common problem of the stiff, hard to shift t-case shifter. It’s always been stiff and the prior owner said that’s how they are. I didn’t believe it but went with it. After moving from southern Arizona to Idaho, I can’t even get it close to going into low now.
So on a little spurt of adhd I pulled it apart, cleaned it and got it greased up and reinstalled. Smooth as glass with a clear click of the detent in the transfer case.
