T-Case Shifter Help
Well, I did a transmission swap, from a manual to an auto, and I am having trouble with the shifter. It is in a divorced set up and I put a 2wd C6 in it and there is no way to hook up the shifter lever. Like on the manual there is a hole to screw that bolt into but there isn't on the C6. Do any of you know what I can do? I know I can make a bracket but I wanna do it the right way. If any of you have a divorced T-case and a C6 can you post a pic of how your lever is.

Thank you, M

The tail shaft is shorter, has a fixed yoke and has a provision to mount the shifter. If remember ill take a photo of the one I have on Monday. Unless someone beats me to it.

Alright, I was told by a guy at NAPA (....bad information...) that there was a special bracket. I have no what he is talking about. Maybe he is right but I have no clue.

The shifter is welded into a bracket of sorts but it bolts right into the tail shaft.

Alright Thank you! I might have to crawl under it and look really really well. I could swear that there was no hole for it. If that is the case then what?

Either make a bracket or find a highboy C6. Those aren't too common. May get lucky at a pick n pull or equivalent.
