dagwoodzz Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Gotta pretty good diagram on pg. 9-16 Haynes repair manual. It is bolted to the "cross shift shaft". It doesn't say if it can be reached from inside the cab. I will scan and e-mail you a PDF from work tommorow. If anyone has the book and access to scanner at home they are welcom to beat me to it.

Ramithepimp77 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Aaron took mine out through the cab so Im guessing YES you CAN reach it through the floor. Rami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The shifter can be removed two ways. 1. Unbolt the shifter detent cage from the t-case from underneath, then unbolt the shifter and linkage and pop it up and out from the top with the linkage attached. 2. Unbolt the shifter cage from the t-case, then remove the small rubber boot at the base of the shifter, remove a single c-clip, then pull the shifter up and out by itself, leaving the linkage still attached to the t-case. Here, have a pic. Or two. Or six. This is Ramithepimp's Pathy. The body is lifted, and now the t-case shifter is too short. Totally unmodified in this pic. Unscrew the shift knob if possible. (They glue 'em on, so it's usually pretty tough to get off.) Remove your leather boot, then remove the metal trim ring holding the rubber boot to the floor. Slide the rubber boot up the shifter so it's out of your way. Most of the time the rubber boot will already be split and falling apart, so it comes off pretty easily. View of shifter and shift detent cage. Detent cage(RED arrow) is bolted to the t-case with two bolts. Remove it. Note the small grimy rubber boot(GREEN arrow) around the base of the shifter with a zip tie holding it on. Clip off the zip tie and slide the boot up out of the way or slit it so it will come up more easily. Remove the exposed c-clip as pictured at base of shifter while pushing down slightly to allow some movement of the clip. The shifter is spring-loaded. Keep your hand on it so it doesn't pop out and surprise you with grease. Pull shifter carefully up and out. Watch out for the spring and accompanying grease. Shifter is now in your hand and you can do whatever you want with it. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 thank you sir, thats exactly what i wanted. a little better than the procedure you explained to me on IM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 It's tougher for me to explain things like that in an IM conversation cause I have to type it all up on the spot, and I'm already tired of typing because my GF has been talking to me nonstop. When I post the info in a thread I can take my time, edit and fix stuff, and generally get it all in a row. Thank you for your patience and support!

I'm going to put it on top of the phone book that raises the monitor. Good write-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
