For some odd reason I don't completelly trust the electric shift motor on my t-case so I have decided to replace it with the manual shift unit. It should work perfectly with my 5 speed manual. Bought BW 1354 t-case... but with no shifter or linkage. No problem. After a brief search on Used Car Parts Search I was able to locate one in the area. Total cost: $100.00 for the t-case and $25.00 for used linkage. And now my saga begins. First off, I have ripped dirty and stinky carpeting out of my truck. Now I need access to the floor shifter. Mounting plate had to be cut since I could not get the screws out (due to rust). That part has to be replaced anyway as I need a new shifter mounting plate. Over the weekend I have to remove the existing t-case and see what if anything else I might need for this job. My truck has a 2" body lift installed... I anticipate problems with shifter operation and/or boot installation. For now it all looks like this:
