like i said....need linkage and front driveshaft LOL...got my shifter bent to the right today so it wont be sticking into my leg while driving...hopefully...never got a chance to bolt it all up and make sure it still fits...
i did get some material for my shift linkage...got some 1/4 round stock ... that should be strong enough for a shifter linkage...the only other round stock i had was like 1/2...thats overkill even to my standards...so it was either the 1/4 or some rebar LOL

i was going to...then i found the round stock and though that would look cleaner...well if i use the 250 and avoid the chicken **** welds it will LOL
i was going to use that round stock and a few small pieces of like 1x1 angle iron and make it up...i have a vision...you will see...eventually...i still need to remember to get the damn pice of steel to cover up the speedo hole in my t-case...well i guess i dont have ot worry about dirty oil, its never int here long enough

You said you put a plug in that hole before right, what happened? A high powered cork go shooting off or something?

i had a plastic plug that fit in there but it wasnt snug...i used that and silicon, either the silicon was still wet and it wasnt completely sealed in or there a lot of pressure in there...guess ill find out soon enough...if the 3/16 piece of steel i have bolted/siliconed in there blows out something is very wrong hahaha...knowing my luck ill probably start blowing seals
i got the shifters in the truck now...still working on the linkage though, i was working on it saturday then i was rudely interrupted by a bunch of friends...that coincidentally had a lot of liquid happy on hand
... it all went downhill from there LOL ... for some reason there was a dart stuck in my roof this morning???

If your plate bolted on blows off, you probably shouldnt' be wrenching on things lol.
There's supposed to be a little gear on a cable in there. I'm not sure why there would be a lot of pressure. I'll bet your plug just fell out lol.

why dont you just cut the end off a speedo cable and bolt it in?
Whatever you do the plate or whatever needs a tight seal to the Tcase. The last thing you want is water running in the gear box every time it sees a little mud.
