Straight transfer case shifter lever

If you're a do it yourselfer, you can make one at home with a $6 piece of solid rod from Tractor Supply.

I made mine after seeing someone post a pic of theirs.

I saw a few posts on making it. I don't have a lathe. That would be a lot of meat to have to take off with just a die.
Where did you source the knob?

That wouldn't bother me one bit. I don't use the front cup holder.
Now, if it pops out of 4 Lo, that's a different issue. Where did you find that knob? It would match my black B&M.

Since then I have bent the handle so it no longer blocks the cupholder. I'm sure it was Amazon or eBay but cant find it at Amazon and I think my eBay history only goes back about 2 years. Sorry. It does have very large metric threads on it but I got around that.

Same here,much better with both cup holders

Mike, I purchased my knobs from https://www.sickspeed.com/collections/shift-knobs-and-accessories

I haven't put them on yet or installed the lever either. Hope this helps.

I got it on ebay. I tried looking for it on my purchase history to find the vendor but it doesn't go back that far, sorry.

Looking at these pics, it seems like you could remove the handle from the factory shifter (maybe with heat or cutting) and then tap the end of the factory rod and screw a knob on for a low profile straight shifter? If you wanted it a little taller you could use a taller knob style.

Maybe not? Maybe this wouldn't achieve what folks are looking for? The eBay links won't work (and I didn't look it up) so I'm not sure what people are paying.

Not sure it would be tall enough in 4 low without hitting the console. I made a new one so I could always go back to factory if I wanted to.

The steel covered by the factory handle is not round rod. It is flattened and widened like the handle itself. I cut that portion off and had a 10x1.5 bolt welded to the remaining lever. I later purchased a lever from rodslama off eBay.
