Savvy transfer case shifter cable install?

- Start date
Mine went in months ago and eliminated any more thoughts of Tcase shift issues. I should have made more adjustment on the handle side allowing me to make more 4 low engagement. At some point I’ll adjust it a few more turns the allowing me to tune the other end. Now I’m at the end of adjustment.
Well, I installed mine yesterday and it went ok. I did remove my skid plate but not the driveline. I used some duct tape on the bolts to help hold them in place till I could get under the jeep. The tape trick worked, it allowed me to get the nuts started just enough to finger tighten them then I went back up and tightened them up....bingo! Didn't need a second pair of hands.
The hard part was getting at the 2 bolts on the transfer case to secure the other bracket. I eventually got at them and was able to get it secured. Then hooked up the linkage and connected to both ends. Took a bit longer then I thought but for having no directions and researching the internet, I was able to figure it out. The lever seems to go into each gear nicely, can't imagine why Mopar would use such a cheap design. Oh well, at least the cable will be better. Now onto the body lift as my next project.

I hadn't heard of this either. My google-fu finds this:

I have the Novak. One of my TJ buddies here never heard of these. I asked him to get in my Jeep and try shifting the TC. He came out pie eyed and wonderously asked my how I did that. It was pretty funny.
I didn’t have any issue with mine so the coatings must be thicker on yours for some reason. I would just ream them out and run with it unless you want send it back an wait.

Hardware company put in the wrong clevis pins. Drill it out slightly clamped in a vise or get in touch and wait for the right ones to show up.
Mine didn’t have that issue. May be a hardware issue. My hardware was missing one piece. Just email Gerald
They have a contract with a hardware company. Apparently the FNG at the hardware company can't check his own work.
Is it possible to pick up the correct size pin at Home Depot? If not who do I contact for the right hardware?
I am unaware of Home Depot's stocking inventory so I have no way to answer that question. Contact Savvy. I already sent Michael an email telling him to check the hardware kits.
After reading this i had to run and open my hardware kit and check. My fits perfectly. It must be a one off mistake.
I will say this. It takes alot to impress me now a days. I was impressed with the way this kit is built. I was not expecting the plates to be so thick. And the cable so stout. I won't be worried about it failing in my lifetime.
Edit.... still wish they would have provided instructions. Or at least a card with a link to get them ( i have them now thanks to this forum)

Yep, it is going to be like our screw-ups. Get one rotor with a centerbore slightly out of spec and open and check 50 of them only to find that there is only one. I despise that shit with a passion.
