My 79 GE has the low shift lever next to the tranny tunnel and it is not connected to anything underneath. Do you guys have pictures of where it goes??

low range unit on the QT if you have one.

low range unit on the QT if you have one.

I just did some reasearch and found out that there were 2 different transfer case numbers for Quadra-trac. 1305 and 1339. 1305 doesn't have the low range unit and 1339 does. I have the 1305.:cool:

So I guess it is a solved mystery. :banghead:

In your case there isn't anything attached to the L-N-H lever. If you ever decide to add the gear reduction unit make sure you get the linkage with it.

The low range unit is a bolt on option. Someone either removed the low range unit or swapped the whole transfer case with a QT with no low-range.

...Or possibly the linkage is just disconnected.

Here is a pic from Flint's QT page showing what the low range unit looks like:

It's the drum protruding out towards the camera above the hand with the wrench. If it doesn't have a low range unit there will just be a dish looking cover over the hole where the unit would be.

Good info on Flint's QT page here:

Find a low range unit. Don't go 4 wheeling without it. Your brakes will thank you. As well as the person in front of you.
