That's where you install an new poly bushing into the ball socket of the case... If you did and it worked for awhile and now you're having problems, it's probaby more serious.

A quick search here on ZUKWORLD resulted in a lot of hits on this...

That thread may help.

What is the best way to align the shift forks? One note. The small rubber boot was so hard I had to cut it off with a hacksaw! Cutting it with a razor blade didn't work.

Seriously, read the post and go to the linked post above. Art made a very nice step by step that includes aligning the forks.

Or... you could fix the t-case mounts and bushings! :)

Post by: doughboy0379 on February 10, 2010, 02:20:00 AM: Does anyone have any experience with the brass Transfer Case Shifter Sheets that Low Range Offroad Dot Com sells? ??? I changed my sheet a long time ago but I think it is trashed again, I was looking at the brass ones but have no clue if they are any good. I got my first one a polyurethane sheet from Rocky Road and didn't have any issues with it for at least 5 years of wheeling and daily driving.

Post by: Skyhiranger on February 10, 2010, 11:40:22 AM: I don't personally have any experience with the brass shifter sheets. But I have only heard good things about them. They will never wear out.

Post by: Drone637 on February 10, 2010, 01:22:43 PM: I'm a fan of poly myself, but 3 club members all run the brass shifter sheet and are happy with it. As Skyhiranger said, it won't wear out.

Post by: doughboy0379 on February 10, 2010, 11:32:04 PM: Ok thank you guys as soon as I can I will probably get a brass one and try it out.

Post by: 240z on February 11, 2010, 05:13:18 PM: I have the brass shifter sheet in one of my rigs, and the urethane in the other.
I prefer the brass, it has more positive feel to it.

Post by: doughboy0379 on February 16, 2010, 11:43:36 AM: Thank you 240z another question though, is there a worry about shavings from the brass or is that not a possible problem?
