OK, After all this, I had to go measure mine also. Like I said earlier.....The rod from my 97 auto measures 9 inches center to center of the holes.
The one from the 93 ZF 5 spd measures 4 5/16" center to center.
The one I had to make to work with my ZF and the 4407 transfer case measures 3 5/16 center of hole to center of hole. I don't know if it matters, but I also used the tc shifter from the 4407 auto

Just curious.... did you use the transfer case shifter from the auto or from the manual.... I'm wondering if they could be different

Well, according to an email I just got, there's a special pill out there that will help you grow that extra inch over night!

^^^^^ If you're starting with 3 5/16, you need a lot more than a pill.....

lol you guys are to much sometimes.

i did use the shifter that came on the zf5 i did keep the one off my auto as a spare though and they seem to be the same my understanding is the plate that it bolts to on the trans is different from zf to auto though
