Twin sticks with AoD and Advance Adapter

[wepuckett]

I have an AOD trans and it has an advance adapter on it and I have a T case transfer case. I have read there are things you need to do to make T case work with twin sticks. Is this the case when you use the Adapter? Also is there a twin stick kit that works better with the AA?

I have done searches on this but can't find much modern stuff only 10 years old and know a ton of modifications to fix things can happen in that time. Hopping to find someone with the same combo that can relay some of the knowledge they have learned.

Twin sticking a T-shift can be mixed results. Unless you get into the transfer case and rework the pills you will only have the exact same options as you have with a single stick. But you have 2 sticks and they will only shift in the correct pattern. Stuff like the rear is locked in gear as long as the front is in gear, and no way to put the front in gear unless the rear is already in that same range.

Without removing the interlock pills or modifying the rails, you will have all the options you have now, plus rear wheel low.
You will also now be able to shift the front drive into the same range that the rear in in, while moving (four wheel on the fly).
Removing the pills or modifying the rails only allows for the option of front wheel drive only.
Not everyone needs this option, and it can be done later if needed.

We manufacture EB D-20 in "J" and "T' types shifters specifically for conversions.

Available directly from us, or most Bronco houses.

Ok np I would like to know how to modify the rails or remove the pins, I did find a thread where some one suggested how to create a work around so it can't be in high and low at the same time but not one how to remove the pins or modify the rails. Here is the link of the thread I found of how to keep it out of high and low at the same time, if anyone has a better idea please post. Directions of how to modify or remove the pins would be helpfull.

I have the JB Fab Twin Sticks that are specific to the AOD and AA Adaptor in my 77. Easy to install and Flawless.

The AA adaptor is slightly different than stock. I had to hack a set of Duff twin stick to solve an interference issue. Wasn't bad, I welded the new material in place first before I broke out the cut off wheel to remove the interference. This kept the alignment.
