heh, thanks. i'll try not to... unless the engine mounts break

 

Yep, I hear ya on the shifter bushings... Hmmm, I got mine in 2 days from Marlin... Is that where you got em? I felt a lil creepy paying 22$ for one bushing for the main/trans shifter... but MEH, it works GREAT, well worth every penny! lol

Yeah, white lithium is the stuff.. And I actually got some "Aisin-Clutch Grease" with my kit, lol..... so I just used what they gave me, ya know? It was white lithium dyed pink, hahahaha. (wait, I think it was pink, ...hmmm)

Cool, well, can't wait to see you "On the Road Again!" lol.

 

yeah, marlin. i got the t-case seat and the small trans shifter bushing from them, and the trans seat from philbert (he got extra by mistake)

one question: for the seat cavity, there is a rubber o-ring in the bottom. wondering if that goes in with the seat or what.

here's the pic, but it's removed, sitting up-right:

 

Honestly, Ian? I'ma have to look back through my thread.... I don't remember installing a rubber bushing with those seats. As long as the breathers are good/it isn't over filled, ..... it shouldn't be a problem, and yet, I don't wanna say "those aren't needed"...

Hopefully someone will chime in for ya before I have time to look that up. It might be in a marlin thread based on the same product/installs??? Not sure.

One thing I CAN tell you.... You HAVE to START those bushings by inserting them TOP-END-DOWN, then pivot them into place(it's a bit of a nudge, but they go in).... Know what I mean?

 

they were in there to begin with, so i can only assume they go back in. i'll search around a bit, too

and yeah, i saw the marlin animation. doesn't seem to hard to do

 

and it looks like i get rid of those "rubber insulator"

 

I just did the bushings on my 4Runner... its easy as hell, just dont break the clip that holds the shifter in the tranny.

 

cool, thanks

 

Hahaha.... No, it's not hard, it's just that I didn't read that thing, and I was trying to 'slide it by' the pins and under to fit.... Suddenly it just hit me, .... and it got slapped in. THEN, I saw all the info, hahaha. You know, one of 'THOSE' moments, lol.

 

Ian, I noticed you are replacing the shifter seat in the transfer case as well. I got a set for both shifters from Marlin but could never find any write up info on doing the transfer case. I wondering if there's any difficulty in removing the transfer shifter. Is it push down twist left or something? And you don't need a bushing on the bottom of that shifter as you do with the 5 speed? That part seems weird. The package from Marlin is resting comfortably in my glove compartment 'til I remember to buy white lithium grease. Mine came from Marlin in about two days ...several months ago.

 

t-case shifter removal: when you get to the bottom of the lever (ie- all boots out of the way), you'll see a "c" clip. take a pair of needle-nose pliers and pull it out. it's easy to visualize once you see it

and yes, there is a seat for both the trans and t-case shifters

 

you never know what can happen when your torquing stuff and the truck is up on jack stands lol...

 

jack stands? who needs those? i haven't used them since i did the aal's and rotated my tires. no, the truck is sitting on all four right now. i'll brace the motor a bit more when i go to torque, but no jack stands.

 

"JACK STANDS??????? WE DON'T NEEDZ NO STINKIN JACK STANDS!!!!!!" hehe....

Just checkin in.... keep them hands/feet and mostly FACE/eyes safe during all, bud!

 

yep, thanks. anxiously awaiting tomorrow afternoon to start putting this thing back together

 

well in that case don't forget to chock the wheels

 

that's what your legs are for!









no? ok... chocks it is...

 

I have some sidewalk-chock........ I can drop it off if ya need it hehehe... Jk, .... anyway, CAN'T WAIT! First " ", ..... then " Lil ", ..... Then , ....... Then !!!!!!!! LOL. Gotta love the 'FLOW' of Yotatechie Threads! lol.

 

yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

now to check where my shifter seat is!

edit- it's in town! should be here by the time i finish the clutch. sweet.

 

Nice man it looks great
