Has anyone fitted a two stick shift kit to an NP205?
How do they work and are they a)reliable and b) relatively easy to fit?

Re: Has anyone fitted a two stick shift kit to an NP205?
For better response's repost in the 4x4'section. But in a nutshell the conversion is simple and pretty bulletproof if the operator is competent. The only issues I have heard of have been with the shifter mechanism and/or it's installation. I am planning on doing it to my 52.

I also had the luxury of doing everything while the tcase was on the bench. I'm not even sure it's possible to replace the rails while mounted, but if it is it can't be as easy as on the bench. Doing the shifter on the bench really helped set things up for easy re-installation once it was back on the rig. I did spend quite a bit of time messing around with the amount of nut tension on the little heim joints that ORD uses - initial installation was way too loose, then I made them too tight, and seem to have found the happy middle now. I'm going to have to monitor things in the future because now I'm concerned the nylock nuts may back out after all of the messing around.

Re: Has anyone fitted a two stick shift kit to an NP205?
I bought a setup from North West Fab out of Canada, eh. They are cable operated so you can but the levers where you want. Not cheap but look nice. I haven't got my Blazer on the road yet so I don't have any practical feedback...
