no air or cable shifters
Do the cable ones and then tell me about it. I think my buggy is gonna have cable shifters, but I don't like the $280 price. What type of cables you thinking?
yeah, I am going to use some transmission shifter cables and build a bracket
does anyone have any knowledge and could school me in air actuators
yeah, its a bad idea. finish flipping the case.
that kinda what Ive read, i tooks like they can apply too much force and bed the shifters. I guess ill just shift it from the bottom using the cables, or maybe the backside....hmm.
If they apply too much force, turn down the pressure. Or just get ones that are the right size. Either way I still think air is a bad way to power things. Have you checked on just building shifters around the shaft? That's what Kurt did and his shifters come up through the stock hole, not sure how much further back your's will be though.

i actually like this better than what you're talking about. you lose a lot of mechanical advantage if you do it your way. the only thing i worry about here is the shift rails binding since they arent supposed to have side load on them... and leakage.
heres your rear cable shifters creighton

ill probably do the rear cable shifters cause either way I want cable shifters, so I can pu the shifters where I want to
cable sounds the way to go... i went with the hard bolted type and i dont think i saved any money one bit
I think i am going to use these cables and their heavy duty push pull levers

i think those are the ones that a guy on pirate used when installing a 2005 dodge cummins motor, and dodge tranny onto a np205, in a bronco, look in the ford section for bronco cummins swap or something like that i think the user name was vetteboy or something like that it will prolly bea couple pages back.
i think its the same, but its a 12valve motor i do know that. not that it matters
ok, i just order the cables and shifters from mcmaster-carr. I think i am going to drill and tap the ends of the shift rails. and attach the cables that way
take lots of pics. I want to see how well it works with the mcmaster carr shifter
I will, the cables are rated for 130lbs push and 150lbs pull, and the shifters for 200/200
ok, today I got new breathers installed on both cases. I used some 1/4 npt elbows and flare fittings, drilled and tapped new holes. I also put sight tubes on both of the cases.
sweet. :gigem:Quote:

One on the transmission and one on the 300, but I don't know if it would like that much torque, It stock mount isn't happy right now, even in 2hi
i still need to build a support for my second case... all the weight of both cases is on an alumnum adapter
give us some pics of the back and bottom of the cases so we can get an idea of what you have to work with
well, I picked one up today that I think will work. Its a trans mount from a 78 chevy
page 3 and only one pic you probably got off the internet... i call BS
ok here are some they are really bad but my camera sucks donky dong.
****, what is that case made out of, plutonium? Its fawkin glowing :flipoff2:
yeah fred hooked me up with one of the new uranium cases
I think I have that same cup holding sockets in the garage
oh that cup doesn't hold sockets it hold my water. I have a ton of them around the house. Every time I go to a game I pick up all of them that I can from around me and bring them home
ok i got the shifters and cables today, they are very beefy.
well I got all of the brackets built, and the shifters but on the case. It is pretty strait forward install, you attach the end of the cables to the shift rails. I drilled and tapped the shift rails, and then you build a bracket that attaches to the t-case and holds the cables. Then you attach cables to shifters and you can shift.
so well my starter finally went out when I was in CS. It was a ***** to push start in on dexter but I got it done, and at the gas station.
Anyways for anyone with a 99 or newer TJ you can use an starter from a 98 or earlier 4.0 you just have to replace the plug connector with a ring terminal and it saves you about $100. I don't know why the TJ starter costs so much more but the new one works
I would have tried to use the extra tubing and your soft top to rig a sail, and used that to get home :flipoff2:
probably would have worked if there had been more wind, I had plenty of tubing
well I have a massive leak that has began on my driver rear axle. I don't know what cause the axle seal to begin to leak so much but Ill look
maybe its bent
i had a bunch of crap in my tubes when i pulled the shafts on the zj
