Question about 4WD gear shift...???

I was able to purchase a 979 F150 Custom. After getting it home I noticed that the 4x4 shift on the floor was wobbling. I opened up the floor panel and found that it is connected but not really working? Is this easy to fix? Where would I go to find out informtion on putting this back together? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill

Sounds like part of the problem is the bushing is wore out in the shifter. Does any of the linkage move at the t-case?




1979 F350,4x4,NP435,5:13 gears,Detroit locker in rear with hardened shafts,ABR in the front,L&L Ladder Bars,360 with 428 crank & rods,390 HP heads,Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch,MSD Ignition,39.5x18 Boggers,bucket seats out of a Lightning,& a Southern Body that is perfect.




1997 F350 PowerStroke 4X4,36 Inch Super Swampers, Strait Piped, Chiped, Propane Injected, LUK Clutch
