[Brandon]

it is hitting your cab, you need to cut the whole for the shifter larger..

[Brandon]

otherwise, maybe the detent springs are shot? Forget the ball?

Go to the PnP, buy a cheap set, bolt em on, and then tell me your answer  

I don't know anything about them, I don't run em - same with the chebs..

Sorry...

weell, i pulled detent spring and ball (they were both there). i did put a spare spring in that i had, but the old  1 looked fine. both springs were same length. any other possibilities?

Did you have to grind the shift rod end off when you changed rods? I get confused with what ya gotta do for different adapters etc..

Maybe it is a tad too long?

[2stroke [OP]]

yes had to grind end off the front case shift rod

[2stroke [OP]]

wouldnt that make the 2nd case pop out?

[2stroke [OP]]

hmmm.... i see  what you mean.. that would be a hard 1 too find out if that is what was happening. even with the cases out of  truck

[Brandon]

You might try this question at either www.RiverCityRockCrawlers.com or pirate4x4.com bbs's since there are a lot of knowledgable crawler people there. Where are you located?

Pull the detent spring back out, and stretch it a little. If this doesn't work you can take the box apart and turn the cog around if the plastic pads a worn off of your shift fork. That is if your fork had plastic on it in the begininng, not sure on that.  

Or just wait till someone calls you and gives you a truck because it has rusted in half and the landlord told them they need to get it out of the apartment parking lot. Then you will have lots of spare parts to replace the case with.
