transmission transfer case and shifting problem

[bobbyray27]

Just checked, its not hitting any thing. I also thought the shifter wasn't coming back far enough.

Could the detent ball be preventing it from moving all the way back?

Viperwolf1, Thanks for all your help one of the bolt mounting the shifter is sticking out to far and preventing it from moving all the way back. I just need to flip the bolt around so the bolt head is on the same side as the sifter and not the threads. Thank you once again.

I don't think so. Try this: Remove shifter, put front side into neutral (you still have the cover off right?), then try to move the rear rail by itself (maybe gently pry with big screwdriver on sliding gear too) and see if you can get to rear-high. You should be able to do this without much effort. If it doesn't go then pull the detent ball and spring and try again. This will help to isolate the problem to either the shifter or t-case. If it works ok without the shifter then the shifter is your problem.

Disregard my last, I'm a little slow on typing. Glad you got it figured out.

bobbyray27,

You might take a look at the twin stick in the future. It can give you independant control of both rails if you cut the overlap from the flags. It makes shifting very easy and will give you access to rear-low and front drive only. All this and you don't have to pull the t-case to install it. Plus the chicks really dig multiple sticks.

Thanks Viperwolf1 maybe I will go that route in the future but for now the new duff j shifter is working very smooth with out any problems but I can see wear it would be an advantage to have 2L and only front wheel drive.
