T-Case Shifter Clearance

wizkid00104 · Dec 15, 2007

I just finished my t-case swap (1354 manual) in my 1994 ranger. I am about to install the t-case shifter and I noticed there is an awful lot of tension between the shifter and the shifter lever on the case. So much that it seems unsafe. I was going to space the shifter out from where it attaches to the tunnel between the tranny and t-case using washers so the fit is not so extreme. Will this work, or is that tight fit required for it to function properly.

or

Is putting a lot of lateral stress on the shifter lever of the t-case going to hurt it? I just had it rebuilt and I dont want to hurt my investment

are you useing the correct shift linkage for that tranny and that model t-case arm?

the linkage assembly is from a 1994 explorer and the shift are is from an 89 ranger with bw1350

so you are using the shifter assembly from a vehicle with a 1354, and which part is from a 1350? you will need everything to be from a 1354 as the manual 1350s have different parts for the shifter assembly.

The little shifter lever on the transfer case is from the 1350. The Actual shifter assembly itself is from a 1354.

yea, you need them to be matched, get the t-case part from a 1354 or the shifter assembly from a 1350, it will probably be easier to get the shifter assembly from a 1350 except those also have different lengths so you should try and find the little t-case stub from a 1354 for things to match up properly. Maybe someone will take a look at this and post a picture of what the 1354 one looks like, or do a search around because it is actually bent and shaped differently.

I got the 1350 to work, but I definitely need to find the 1354 arm. There is still a little stress I'd like to get rid of. Do you know where I can find one, I have the only 1354 within 50 miles of here? The junkyards are empty.
