As the title says, the linkage keeps falling off. My truck has the floor shift for the transfer case. About a year ago I went to put it into 4wd and the shifter just had free play. So I go look under there and the rod is gone, the rod the connects the shift handle to the lever on the transfer case.
I had to climb under the truck for 6 months to put it into 4wd because I could not find a replacement anywhere. Every junk yard within 100 miles from me all had trucks with push button shift. I just couldn't believe that I cannot find one truck with manual shift.
Finally I got sick of it, and looked for 1500 series trucks with manual shift. Sure enough, there was one local. I paid the guy $20 for this stupid linkage rod. I go to put it in, and its too short!!! I forgot the 4L60E is shorter than the 4L80E so I had to chop the rod and make it longer. That wasn't all that hard.
Well guess what, it fell off again. Except this time I managed to find it.
There seems to be clips inside the plastic ends of this thing that are looking kind of worn. I have looked high and low, everywhere from Napa, to Rockauto to google. I cannot find any hints that the manual shift linkage even exists!
Does anyone know where to find replacement ends for the manual shift transfer case linkage?? I cant believe I am the only one on the face of the planet with this issue.
