So I have had my transfer case pop out of 4 Low a couple times on the trail now. It only seems to happen under a good load going up hill. Which is the worst time for the t/c to pop into neutral. I checked the body mounts like someone suggested, they are all old but don't seem to be to worn out or flexing a ton.
Last year or so I found a deal for a used twin stick shifter so I bought that and put it on and now when it wants to pop out of gear only the rear axle shifter pops out and the front stays in place.
Now that I know what it is, I can listen for it and hold the shifter and it will stay in gear fine. But that isn't a very good or safe solution.
I could really use lower gearing so I have been looking into the tera low kit for the Dana 20. I was hoping that might kill two birds with one stone and fix the popping problem and give me lower gears. Its pretty expensive though and I'm not sure that the part that is worn would be replaced in the tera low kit.
I could buy a used 20 and hope it is in good shape. (still have the same gearing though)
I could buy the tera low kit and hope it replaces the part that is causing the problem. (expensive but might be doable)
I could try the D18/bronco D20 gear swap thing. (only read a little about this so far and don't know all the details yet)
I could buy an Atlas (and my wife would kill me)
Any thoughts?
