OK I doing a swap from the A4ld to Yoko OhNo 5 speed.
Rig: 85 BroncoII 2.8 4x4
Donor: 84 BroncoII 2.8 4x4
This should have been an easy swap but there's little "gremlins" all along the way.
I Noticed that the linkage for the transfer case is different between the A4ld and the 5 speed, my transfer case that was attached to the a4ld is in good shape, the donor's transfer case had "shrapnel" inside....no problem I'll just use my old transfer case and bolt it to the 5 speed....easy enough....when I went to hook up the shift linkage for the transfer case I noticed (lucky) that stamped on the shifter was A4ld and on the Donor the linkage said 5 speed....whoo glad I caught that....so now Im trying to hook up the linkage to the transfer case and It won't go. The short little linkage that bolts to the transfer case (from the A4ld) is longer than the one from the donor (5speed) well....thats easy just swap them.....noooo The linkage on the 5speed transfer case isn't removeable...or is it?
Anybody have a clue what I'm talking about?
this swap is driving me
