How to shift remote mounted T/C? (1 Viewer)

[OpTimuS]

I am building a 6X6 L/C in Australia, and I need to be able to shift a divorce mounted mini-truck T/C in my driveline. The T/C has trail-gear twins in place, and I am quite happy to drill/tap/modify the sticks.

I was looking at a cable shifting setup like the advanve atlas setup, but I don't want to shell out $345USD for a kit of which I need only half!.

Any ideas?

Have considered air-shift, but would prefer something mechanical.

ideas are helpful, as the T/C is not yet mounted as I need to see what can be mounted where.

Long shift links could work, but your shifters may end up in the back seat. I don't see any way that is inexpensive to do that.

Get the Advanced Adapter TLC twin stick and make longer connecting rods.

LC T-cases shift quite a bit differently than the Minitruck ones..

it dont see an easy solution... get the TG twin sticks and cut them down, then use a Dana 300 or atlas cable kit..

If they are anything like my Toy Box I think the LC twin stick would work, it would take some offset in the linkage and the twin stick mod to the mini t-case.

no back seat in this truggy project.

and I think I would have dramas sealing the link extensions to the floorpan, I need a setup mostly waterproof.

cheers for the lnik.

I guess as long as the boot sealed against the shift sticks pretty well, I could put one of them in the floor pan of the drivers seat.

Just had a quick look at the dana 300 twin stick, and due to it's uniformity i think this would be the best bet.
