You can see in the photo below how the stock bolts are to long. The short bolt was able to hold it against the case, and the long bolts were able to keep the shifter from rotating back out of 2WD.I keep ‘The Shiftster’ in my toolbox in case I should ever have a problem with a transfer case shift motor. Using one is very easy. There’s (4) 10mm bolts that mount the transfer case motor to the transfer case. The Shiftster didn’t come with any bolts, but the transfer case is held on with (3) long bolts, and (1) short one. I was able to use the (1) short bolt, and (2) of the long ones to hold the shiftster in place.
lmk when you get yours. I spoke with him today. He said he as mailing out the last batch and replenishing in the next 11 business days.I think he runs batches. Then has to order parts to make a new batch. Seemed like a good guy when I communicated with him to place my order in January. I keep forgetting about it. I just sent him a reminder. I guess if you're in a hurry it can be a pain. But if you're patient, all is good. It's probably a side business for him.
I'm looking forward to receiving it. All indications are that it's a great product and at that price, I'm not willing to engineer and fabricate my own.
A quick Google search says....Where do I find this device? Want it ready to go if I can’t get my shift motor working.
The trick is that full operation requires more than 180 degrees of rotation. So doing it with typical pivoting lever style shift mechanisms doesn't work too good. I guess if you could rig a rotating knob in the cab, connected with some gears or chains and shafts or something you could do it. But it would be a lot of engineering effort.I wonder how hard it would be to make up some in cab linkages to mount to that thing...
