I’m in the middle of a clutch/throw out bearing replacement, and I may be an idiot (at least sometimes) or I may just be exhausted from fighting bell housing bolts (up top ones suck)… but I’m just not seeing an easy way to disconnect the transfer case shifter linkage. Someone mind enlightening me to lessen my measure of stupidity?
Disconnect transfer case shifter to drop trans
- Thread starter DWR
- Start date
Just pop the linkage on the lever connected to the transfer case out with a long screwdriver.
That’s what I was initially thinking, but for whatever reason it looked like I might damage the bushing if I did that.… I guess I was getting exhausted/not thinking.
I sprayed mine with a little bit of PB blaster, then just put a pry bar between the tunnel & link.
Slipped right off.
Same for re-assembly.
As for the top bolts, they're a TON easier to get to if you save them for last, and droop the rear of the transmission a little.
Gives you space to actually see/feel what you're doing.

I wish I would have had that piece of info before getting through that bit (top bolts)… actually a neighbor came over and was able to get them just fine, totally reminding me that I need to get back in the gym lol.
Nope. I just did a cable shifter. Those bushings are a bear to remove. If it DOES pop out, pop it back in.
