The noise should not be normal. You may have a bearing going out causing excessive movement and the poping out problem. There is a stronger spring that you can install, but don't know it it by it's self will fix the problem.You should pull it apart and check the bearings before you do damage that can't be repaired wirhout buying new gears.You are 100% sure the floor or nothing else is touching the shifter while you are driving?
where are you and who set these cases up??sounds like the shift fork rod wasnt clearanced enough and so when in 2wd in the rear case it pushed the front case out of lowOR a thrust washer was left out you would buy new gears from Marlin, if you need ANYTHING to do with a yota tranny or tcase Marlin is garanteed to have it
if my mind is working correctly, when in 2wd low, the front case is shifted into low, which pushes the shift rail to the rear, now your rear case is in 2wd so your lo hi shift rail is forward, if the shift fork shaft is not cut off properly it will touch and cause what you are discribing.if im wrong Mike, Marlin just shoot me
That sounds logical, and being that I haven't heard any gunshots yet, I think you might be on to something. If this was the case, how would I tell upon transfer case disassembly?
Thats itThe rear case is probably an 56-88 w56 top shift case and if it is then it has an extra little half inch of the shift fork that needs to be cut off... How do I know? I didnt follow the instructions correctly on setting up the dual cases cause it says to cutt that off (only problem is it is at the very bottom of the instructions to set them up so i totally went over that...)How to fix the shifters... Pull off the rear case. leave the adapter to the crawl box and thencut off the extra little thing that sticks out. its like a half inch or so long.Here ya go: http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/transfercase/crawler_installer/index.htmTowards the end it says in the rear case part, 3rd litle paragraph down it says to do that."If your rear-most case is out of a 1985 to 1988 top shifting EFI (W56) tranny then you must shorten the driver's side shift rod. This is the shift rod sticking out of the rear most case when you shift into 4hi that has the flat side on top. You must trim 1/2" off of the shift rod to avoid jamming between the two cases. See marlin's instructions that came with the adapter."
Sounds like you hit the nail on the head. It is indeed a 1986 W56 rear case. Sounds like it is a very easy fix, which has me relieved! Do you think this could have caused any extra damage by driving it? I did not drive it much-- 20 miles in 2wd high, and 1 hours worth of playing around in low-low, with maybe 20 attempts in 2wd low. Either way, thank you very much! I'll try & remember to post back here when I actually fix the problem to verify that this was indeed the case though.
