What's this on my NP205
 

So, this is the 2nd X-fer I've stumbled across that the shifter lever has been modified to look like shown in the attached pic.

It looks/acts like it keeps the vehicle in 4WD all the time, only allowing you to chose HI or LO range...

Anyone know for sure what it does? Anyone got a shifter lever to replace this homemade job?

If your talking about the 2 shift rails coming out the front of the tc, thats what all the 205's that i have seen look like. And the bar that connects them too...stock.

Cool, thanks for the input. Anyone got a pic of what a NP205 looks like with the shifter installed? I'm getting ready to install in my truck, and looking for info/help.

Actually, it is forcing you to shift into 4 wheel drive before you can access low range. Thus no low 2

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

If you seperate those one is for High low range the other is to engage the front.

Dustin, thanks for the pic! got a shifter you willing to come off of?!? :gi: You still headed to the badlands soon?

Longhair & Earl - thanks for the info and explanation.

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

I believe I do have an extra np205 shifter correct to 67-72s..no shifter knob though.I'll check.
As for the badlands..dont know.I might make a 4 wheeler trip up there,depends on the weather.

you welcome if you ride a lot of trail you may just want to go a head and twin stick it since you need a shifter any way.

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Earl - I don't really trail much, but did see twin stick conversion for about $100. Seamed like a deal, if I have to buy something.

Dustin - I got shifter knobs I can use. or a good ole Hurst T handle :metal:

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

100 isnt to bad Im building my own so Im hoping to have very little in mine.

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Cool! what it involved? got any pics or info on this?

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Earl, are you building the 2 shift rails as well?? I'm all for saving money

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Yas Im going to do the hole thing my self there are a few articals out there that tel you how much to grind the rails down. it doesnt look like you have to take off verry much. I have some stainless Im going to use to make the shifters from. My winter project is rebuilding my 205 so Im going to do it all then. Ill post up pics as I do it.

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Thanks Earl. Pretty informative stuff. I have some info. stashed away somewhere on the same topic. Looking forward to your build, I'll wait for you to do it first:cool:

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

Awesome info! Maybe I'll be making my own twin stick set-up!

Re: What's this on my NP205
 

I couldn't find any pics of the 205s in my 71-72 K20s but here are some pics of the 205 in my 87 K30 when I had it all apart.
