Transfer Case Shifter installed backwards.
1. unbolt shifter
2. turn shifter 180 degrees
3. remount shifter

My 84 did it, a friends 85 does it. Far as I can tell, it's the shifter seat in the tranny letting the stick move too far.

yep, if its a alum housing its a forward shift, most likely

call marlin and get a shifter socket and seat, thats why its so sloppy

i was wondering why it shifts like a 18 wheeler...

you can get them from your local dealer, but Marlins are made from a stronger plastic resin and will last longer

wait so the shifter is not mounted wrong???

If you have 1985 drivetrain then it is a W56 transmission with a RF1A top shifting transfer case.

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 23, 2006, 02:07:25 PM »

if his drivetrain came from a 85-86 carbed truck its G54

Goat, go pull your boot and see if the tcase shifts from the top of the tcase or if theres a little metal plate there and the shifter goes in the tranny

i'll bet its a forward shift
