LJ Transfer Case Shifter Mechanism Woes

[hansonian]

Mine popped out during Tropical Storm Debby and I had to crawl under it in the water and mud. I put a couple of zip ties around it and it seems to hold for now. I've been trying to figure out a solution to this also, I may take a closer look at the Novak setup since the factory one seems to be prone to failure at the worse times.

Cut the end off that attaches to the T case bracket.
Thread it with a die nut.
Thread on a ball and socket joint from the parts store.
Bolt it back on with a jam nut and a nylock nut.

This should allow you to adjust the length as well.

Have a picture you can post?

Sorry. No pic. i haven't had any trouble with my shifter, but I have used this method on lots of other linkage problems with great results.
