[QUOTE="Mmaloneyx2, post: 569652, member: 11011"] Im restoring a 93 yj with a 355 sbc, turbo 400, dana 20 transfer, dana 44 axles. and 39.5" swampers. I just got finished patching up the original hole in the tub where the manual transmission and transfer case shifters were located and rhino lined the interior of the tub. I cut a few holes and mounted up my b&m shifter for the turbo 400 just fine, but ran into a problem with the transfer case shifter. I started to cut a hole in the floor for the shifter but because of the 3" body lift, the shifter has an exceptionally long throw. 6.5-6.75" to be exact to go backwards from 2H to 4H. Probably has a 3-4 " side throw and the same 6.5" to 6.75" throw forward to get to 4L. This is going to cause another big hole in the floor, and I doubt the rubber boot will let the shifter move and stay in gear that far forward or back and cause the transfer case to not stay in gear. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? My two options that I see are go ahead and cut the big hole in the floor, cover it with the boot, and modify the boot some how to let it throw the shifter as far as it needs, or fab up a twin stick, and I know the throw will be the same length but maybe the twin stick boot (which I have laying around) will let the shifter throw as far as it needs.
