help..t case shifter fell off

[teamsideways]

help, the t-case t handle shifter fell off, the whole thing,just held on by boot now....does anybody have a diagram/picture of assembly,parts list,or how it goes on and what holds it there..

The handle or the whole assembly? The shifter arm is bolted to the intermediate housing. Kind of hard to get to unless you have a body lift or small hands. The T-handle is just held on by an allen head screw, unless I'm mistaken. Not the exact same thing you're looking for, but close enough to show you where it bolts to.

This is for a twin stick, but it bolts to the same place. Might be a good time to twin stick it. Great upgrade!

Use a locking nut on it so it can be adjusted for proper shifter tension without overtightening it (as you would have to with a regular nut) and you should be good to go.
The original nuts were the crimped steel type (some call them C-nuts I think?) but their tension loosens over time (like 40 years worth) but you can use a standard off-the-shelf Nyloc nut with no problem.

Oh, and there are, or were, a pair of those plastic split bushings that look like the ones for the tire carrier and brake pedal pivots in the bore too. Look to see if there are any left or if they've worn to dust.
They're not 100% necessary, but if your pivot bolt is a loose fit, it'd be a nice detail to replace the bushings.

x2 on what Dirtdonk says. I had some play in my tshifter that I wasn't happy with. My fix was to get some heatshrink on the inner spacer to fill the gap and put a little grease on there. Tightened up real well.
