Part number for rubber boot in auto shifter linkage? (2 Viewers)

Thanks Jon! Noticed that the transfer case shifts harder when the linkage is connected (i.e. actually shifting into and out of 4 hi/low) than when not. Is that to be expected? Outside of changing the transfer case oil, anything I should look into?

Well yea, you're now moving an internal slide collar in the transfer case and the lever on the transfer case is indexed with a spring loaded ball bearing, so that's going to add resistance. As long as you can shift with 2 fingers, you're fine.
If there's oil in the transfer case to start with, changing it won't make much of a difference in shift feel.
