split case twin-stick kits!!!!! (2 Viewers)

[Spook50]

Wanted to throw this in there for anyone who might encounter this issue. By nature of the design (Georg please correct me if you've updated the design since I got my set from you back in 2010), the block that slips over the vertical shift rod on the case for HI-N-LO is secured by a set screw. Since this is designed to avoid having to dismantle the tcase for installation, if the set screw loosens the rod can slip and fall down into the case. This happened to me last summer, and thanks to some help from Tor @torfab I figured out to use some neodymium magnets from Harbor Freight to lift the rod back up and secure my block back into place. My block actually has two threaded holes for set screws, so I got one secured, then put a second screw in with some threadlocker and torqued it down good. I then pulled the first set screw, gave it some threadlocker and installed it good and tight as well. I haven't had a problem since, but when I break down my case hopefully this summer for a tranny rebuild and addition of a low range gearset, I'll drill the rod, thread it to match the linkage block and run a longer bolt all the way through that will be a 100% fail proof solution.

Bumping this thread up. Anyone have any closeups on how this setup should correctly work with the 4L60 in front of the Advance adapter and factory Toyota split case? I have had issues with mine and want to see how it is supposed to look. There is a bracket that is connected to the 4L60 and I don't think my Valley Hybrids twin stick was ever connected to that bracket right...

thanks in advance.

Do you have pic of your setup?

I have a Georg-built H42 and split case going in my ‘74 FJ40 with his twin stick kit. I found this thread looking for pics of how folks have handled the twin stick tunnel cutout and boot since the included boot is flat but the stock cutout is on the curve of the jump. Haven’t found any pics- this would be a great place to drop some if anyone has anything!

From what Ive seen, the HNL lever orients this way, however, the flat part of the shaft is on the opposite side of what it needs to be for the set screw. What's up with that, has anyone else seen this? Should I just rig it up with the stock lever pictured?

You’re 90 degrees off. Rotate it clockwise. …….

Edit: thanks to Georg for the call, turns out I had a vacuum shift lever thing in my non-vacuum case. I didn't know they had different parts, or how my used case ended up with that one, but things are making sense now.

Thanks for the reply. From what I've seen in this thread, it seems like the shaft in mine is off 90 degrees. Even if I shift it, I cant get it to rotate much at all to look like the other pictures (mine is at the bottom, the flat face of the shaft is more parallel to the length of the transmission, where the first 2 are perpendicular)

Guys if you need a new shift late to reflect this upgrade I have them. I’m in classifieds I have almost every drive train you can imagine. Here is where the 4 speed twin sticks are:

Shift Plates 27 different 4 Speed, 5 Speed, 3 Speed w & w/o FD, Automatic and Doubler

I have been working with a couple mudders; DangerNoodle and woytovich on 5 new plates. I have a design for 4 Speed and 5 Speed Twin Stick and Doubler for a Valley Hybrids type Doubler. I also have a design for 4 Speed and 5 speed Twin Stick with Doubler for a Marting Crawler type Doubler. Last I...

@orangefj45 Georg I was wondering if you're still making these, (specifically for an nv4500 to split case setup) all I see on the cruiser brothers site is the AA kit.

Yes we have the kits in stock.

Happy to help.

Haven’t seen any one document doing this with a stock split case and a 4l80. I did an LS swap with a 4l80, advance adapters tcase adapter, and stock Toyota split case. This would have been easier to do while the motor and transmission was out but totally doable with it installed. All I had to do was drop a piece of the exhaust. Handles lined up pretty good with original hole too.

When you have an auto matic you loose the mounting hole for the stud rhat the twin sticks pivot on so you have to come up with a new mount. Lots of different ways to build a mount but here’s what I did

The throw for the high low lever got longer so I had to notch out about 3/4” from the top of the tunnel. First interior pick is high and 2wd. Second interior pick is in low and 4wd.

Hopefully this helps someone.

That's a good idea! I'll be doing a turbo 400 to a split case in my current project and like you I didn't see any type of mounting plate for the pivot. This looks doable.

There is a mounting plate available for the TH400. We actually have one in stock. It’s a cast aluminum housing that replaces the governor cover.
