Shift Gate R&R how?

falcon556 · Dec 11, 2005

I need to replace my shift gate and I noticed that it won't fit to slip off the shift handle. Is there an easy way to do it without taking apart more than necessary?

A hard upward yank on the handle will pop it off. If possible get both hands under it and try for a little upward impact.

Are you saying that the rubber handle on the shifter can be pulled off ?
I tried, I guess not hard enough.

Shift gate for what? T-case or Transmission?
If the t-case it's easier to change the whole thing.
At the base of the T-Case rod theres a c-clip that holds it in place.

T-Case. I have the gate, it would be very hard to find the whole thing.
All that stands in the way is the rubber on the shifter.

Ok then I told you how to do it. Pull the hairpin clip down in the shifter and slide the rod and handle out.

Thanks, I'll do it.

Sorry, I thought you needed to take the T handle off the transmission shifter.

My fault, I didn't provide enough info.
I removed the TC bezel and looked down where the handle attaches, it looks simple enough.
Thanks everybody.
