I am just finishing my 6-month long project. Rebuilt engine (VW Diesel), rebuilt w56, dual t-cases, rebuilt 4.7 gears in the rear, and a twin stick.
My problem is with the rebuilt t-case and twin stick. Everything is working fine, except the case will not go into 2wd. It will shift into 4wd and neutral fine though. I
think my problem may be in the 2wd/4wd shift rail. The instructions said install "c" clip if the case is 79 to 83, but that the clip is not used on newer cases. I have no idea the yeat of my cases, as I bought them used. I installed the "c" clip since I thought I took one off (pretty sure, but I did the rebuilds over about 6 months time).
I pulled the shifter base out, and it looks (hard to see) like the "c" clip hits the case when I slide it into neutral and that is keeping it from sliding back all the way. I am certain I got the case back together right except for this part since I guessed at the year of my cases.
Does this sound like my problem? How do I tell what year the case is? If the flanges haven't been changed out, the front output isd an "H" patern and fits a CV shaft from and IFS truck.
Thanks guys.
