My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Did you try HERE?

They have it listed. Might want to call and see if they really have it. I bought mine through a internet sales site that the inventor was using. He wasn’t great at filling orders quickly. It was frustrating. But I’m glad I have one for emergencies.

Yep. Tried there. Even called them. They said it went away along with the inventor.

I emailed him a few times. Got the feeling he was really busy with his real job or family or something and just couldn't keep up with shiftster. It's a shame. Seems like a good product and there is at least a small need for it. He obviously had a good bit if time in developing it.

Best workaround is to actually fix the electrical motor system. Do you know what’s wrong with it? There’s a good troubleshooting article in the tech section.

in a pinch, you can remove the motor and shift the t-case with vice-grip pliers. I’m not sure how people keep it in position when they do that.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

It will stay in 2wd and 4low without anything holding it.
