86 22r with 3inch body lift. When I am in low range and I go to shift into second it will hit the tcase shifter and knock it out of low range. We extended the tranny shifter and they still hit. What solutions have been used to remedy this situation?

transmission shifter on backwards perhaps?
or, you can take it out and bend it.

WORN OUT SHIFTER BUSHING!!!

lol

and i've been told that it's bad to be in ANY gear except 1st and reverse while in 4lo...

but my friends and I regularly wheel in 4lo and 2nd gear...sometime even 3rd or 4th..it turns our M/t's a LOT better than 4hi..lol

peow130

same, i stay in 2nd when in 4lo, too.
1st is just too slow, especially when trying to climb sandy hills.
and 4high 1st is too little torque

hha i never use 4 hi in the bush. only use 4 low 2nd to start off

all the theories of when to use 4 low or 4 hi don't solve the shifter hitting the tc level,


dog leg your TC shifter, either by cutting and welding (what I did) or heat and bend.

remove the shifter first, do not attempt to tweak it while in the truck or you will be up poop creek

nahh..he'll just torch the cab..lmao..then it'll blow the fuel tank because the gasoline inside the lines will reach it's flash point..lmfao

i misread it...

when i did my 3 inch body lift i didnt bother to extend the shifters all i did was bend it forward and to the left a bit then turned the shifter plate 180 degrees and grinded it so i can use 4 low

peow130

its no biggy.

I use all my gears in 4lo. That's bullsnizzle. Why else would people brag about having 24 speeds with dual cases?

I had to heat and bend my shifter to clear the t-case shifter.

Easy stuff, that and flipping the inner shifter boot gave me clearance for everything.

my truck did the same thing, apparently at some point someone swapped trans and used the stick from whatever trans they had gotten and wouldnt clear t/c shifter in second. i found the correct shifter for the trans which had a factory bend in it to fit past the t/c shifter. may check may not be the right trans shifter for ur ride.

I use all gears in mine..

Oh the day i will have duals..

peow130

yeah i max 25mph in 4lo

camo31_10.50

lmao..thought i was right ..hahahaha

now i will continue to use 4lo while wheeling..unless im runnin some dunes..then it's 2wd lol

peow130

i'd still keep it in 4wd for dunes, lol.

camo31_10.50

LOL..i will most of the time..but with my CV's bein as bad as they are..i dont wanna go fast in 4wd hahahaha

don't wanna have a CV blow up on me out in the middle of nowhere
