Lachlan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I find that the old '70s style transfer case lever is in an awkward place; I much prefer the one that sits beside the e-brake. There are several '80s subies at the local pick n pull with the later type; has anyone tried to switch from one to the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The gearboxes are not the same so I doubt it would be possible to simply change over the lever mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvo Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 why not just change transmissions you would get a 5 speed dual range and the selector where you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachlan Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yeah, I've been considering that. There are 4 '80s gls at the local pick n pull, transmissions are $110 each. I'll have to do some research as to which has the dual range. Even then, is it just a matter of cutting a hole in the tunnel for the selector?

Lachlan Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Found a 5-spd d/r in a 1988 wagon. Has the 3rd gen shifer on it, which is still better than first. Is that a direct bolt up to the EA81, and will the rear diff match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachlan Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Also, thinking about the possibility of putting one of these L-shaped handles in place of my selector knob. Any way to get it off without destroying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
