transfercase shifter?

There are several companies offering twin stick shifters. I haven't heard anything bad about any of them. They will require the shift rails to be modified. And if you want true front and rear axle control, the transfer case needs to be disassembled and modified.

If your original shifter is sloppy, you may just need a rebuild. Its amazing how well the J shifter works when they are not completely worn out from lack of lubrication.

shifter feel pretty tight, and i soaked it in oil being it had been sitting for the last 12 yrs. i pulled the transfercase out last night. guess i will look inside and see if anything inside is causing the problem. i did not know you had to modify the shift rails. i hate to do anything to it that can't be undone.

thanks
