Epic video......I have two shifters in my 79 CJ5 but still not sure why.....or how to use them. This explains why I lock my hubs move one gear up and the wheels in front don't seem to be pulling
Very good. I have a D-20 as an extra T.C. that I took off a T-18 4 spd. I wanted to mount it to the old T-14 3 spd, but the linkage bars are too long. It's the J pattern. I think I can now shorten the bars.
When I started to look at this linkage first time I took it out of the box, I'll be honest, I thought to myself "I'll never get this sorted out" but it's actually not all that tough.
You're being quite detailed with painting stuff and " painting what spot" you scuffed up. That's kinda the way I work as for the twin stick set up you have done the best have seen on you tube. On guy used map gas to Ben stuff and struggled be map gas Wil not heat stuff enough to re-shape metal. You did a much better install. I'm going to order a kit tomorrow.
Well, I didn't remove them as I didn't really know about them as I was installing the twin stick. Sounds like there's some chance of "locking up" the T-Case with them still in, so we'll see if I have to revisit that at some point in the future.
Does the transmission need to be in neutral to move the t case sticks into high, low, neutral? I'(m having some trouble moving the right stick (front axle) on the tcase into high range. The left stick for the rear axle is moving as it should into high, low, and neutral. I have a t18 transmission if that makes any difference.
With the clutch disengaged, neutral shouldn't be totally necessary. But if you're just trying to shift like I am, without the engine running, then I'd put the transmission in neutral so the output shaft is free to move a bit as everything lines up to allow the transfer case full freedom to engage/disengage high range.
Jim, I got the J B Custom Fabrication kit for the twin stick setup. I ordered the "long style" kit which is part number CJ20L. The website for them is www.jbfab.net.
with the help of your video i finally was able to figure it my jeep.. thanks
Cool! Glad this video helped!
Wow this is looking like a nice CJ5 build! Got the V8 too!
Thanks! Yeah, I do love the V8. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before we hear that thing come to life.
Lifting that tub and balancing the corner on the ladder - SKETCHY!
Livin' dangerous...

Yeah, twin sticks are a nice setup for those times when you need low range more than you need 4-wheel drive...

Thank you for all the input
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the video. Did you remove the internal shift interlock pills?
