Super Lube Synthetic or Silicone grease, Shin Etsu Silicone, or Urea Grease is what the Kraut machines and Rice burners use on the shifter balls in the floor mount.

Does anyone have a diagram of how the np203 transfer case shifter should be put back together? There has been one posted on here and it is ok but I would like more details to it. I have looked every where and came find anything on how the shifter asm box or whatever it's called goes back together.

Post by: Pike1915 on April 09, 2016, 09:31:10 am: I guess my main question is does the pin go all they down through the hook?
Title: Re: 4x4 shifter assembly
Post by: hatzie on April 09, 2016, 11:23:18 am: The gage pin should be run through the shift paddles before you adjust the linkage. It doesn't stay there.

Have you downloaded the service manuals for your truck?
Title: Re: 4x4 shifter assembly
Post by: Pike1915 on April 09, 2016, 11:51:31 am: I have a paper copy of my service manual and its not much help. I don't need to adjust linkage. Just took apart to clean because it was full of mod. But I wasn't sure if all the plates sat flat or if there was some angling and if that pin only went through the 2 shifter plates or all the way down to the hook

Post by: Irish_Alley on April 09, 2016, 02:04:18 pm: what paper copy of the manual
Title: Re: 4x4 shifter assembly
Post by: Pike1915 on April 09, 2016, 04:02:05 pm: I put it back together but the skinner of the two arms hardly moves.. the little one moves from front to back no issue.. is the longer one supposed to move much or not ?

Title: Re: 4x4 shifter assembly
Post by: Pike1915 on April 09, 2016, 11:01:28 pm: I put the part back into my truck, stuck a bolt in to make sure the plates where in neutral when I snugged everything up.. ran through the gears and everything seems to be working just fine.. will have to do a major road test to double check but so far so go.

Thanks for all the help ...

Post by: Irish_Alley on April 10, 2016, 07:04:18 am: im guessing but i would bet that the two arms are supposed to move at different lengths. if they should be the same movement then why even have two arms?

this is how people turn the 203 into a double stick ones for front wheels while the other is for low/hi
