That’s what I’m thinking too

Do you think this is okay, link to pic attached https://www.dropbox.com/s/a7gequgu0avviei/IMG_8784.JPG?dl=0

I’m in the process of rebuilding my tcase and found the recess where the shift fork rod is held had a couple hairline cracks and is out of round. Has anyone run theirs like this? I’m having a hard time locating a replacement case half. I can attach a link to a picture if anyone is interested.

I ordered the Novak kit. It cost $144 shipped to colorado from Utah. I believe he said it was the MR-2 kit. Another guy went to look what bearings are I. It. 2 are Nachi, 1 is Koyo and the cup bearing and one other I assume is the blind bearing doesn’t have a brand. Just a number.

Thanks for the tip @devildog0 I’m waiting for them to wake up so I can order a set. I think I might need a new case half. Anyone have the big side laying around?

UPDATE: The input bearing is the wrong size and was keeping my planetary gear from seating all the way down. That was the problem. Back to the drawing board on getting replacement bearings. The was the USA standard kit off Amazon, it was supposed to fit my year. I’m sending it back. Anyone know...

I think I’ll throw it all together without the low gear in, like someone suggested, and then see if it shifts. Right now I can only get it to shift if I have the low gear out and the fork cocked over (where it can never be with the gear installed) so that the slider pinks halfway out of the...

I just tried rotating the input while trying to turn the shift lever and it still wouldn’t shift. Then I took the low gear completely out to take that out of the equation and the pin in the rod won’t rotate past the turn in the slot in the cam.

Okay I've re-watched all Chris' videos and I'm positive I've got my fork in correctly. So now my question is how do people shift it when it's on the bench. Is it easy to move or doesn't move past that low range 90 deg point on the cam without being installed on the jeep? I guess I'll keep...

Wait, I went further into the guys video and his orientation is identical to mine. There's a clear shot. I've attached a link to a screen capture of it. From the video, see the cam orientation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu5zheu52swek5n/Screenshot%202019-09-26%2009.52.41.png?dl=0

Thanks Jim for finding that thread and video. I thought they would be promising. I've studied both before, and find it funny and interesting you found the same ones I thought would be most helpful. The videos I've watched make it really hard to tell, including the one attached, which is why I'm...

They look oriented in the same direction to me. Am I not seeing what you are talking about, I don’t think. Here’s a couple links to a comparison of the cases. I sorta colored in my picture and a still shot of the first few seconds of the video with the guy explaining it. The teeth in the cam are...

I saw this, but I’m pretty sure he has the cam on the wrong way in this picture. I never took mine off and it’d have to be taken off and flipped for it to be the way this guy shows it.

The slider pin of the low gear shift fork fits into the cam where there is a 90 degree turn it has to make when I try to shift it. I don’t know how it’s designed to move around that sharp of a turn and that’s why I’m wondering if it’s not quite correct. Can anyone confirm it is installed...

Wow I wouldn’t have expected that. Right now I don’t have the detent or position sensor installed. Another reason I think it should move. Thanks for reading and responding to my thread! -Anne
