TCase Shift rail seal cover

[Patrick]

Whattup folks, checking in to this wealth of knowledge with all of you. Had this question to reaffirm and avoid regrets. I regeared/rebuilt the Transfer Case and decided to leave this part out. It’s an important part of the single stick mechanism but I converted to twin stick for a good while now. The part is a dirt and moisture pocket that results in pitted shift rails. I would like to know what you think about leaving this component out for the twin stick setup. Thank you.

I thought I took a picture of it but did not. It goes where the circled part of rails is, sure you know which one I am referring to.

Im not sure if it matters one way or another but i put mine back on during my rebuild

The cap that goes over it ?

What twin stick kit did you all use? Sorry for the hijack and no I don't have an answer for you.

Either JB or J & B out of Oregon. High quality stuff

JB conversions and J B custom fabrications are both excellent quality. And yes, it’s the cap that goes over both rails with a single bolt to hold it in place.

Thanks gert. When I took it apart, there was crud and moist sand trapped inside that component, so I thought away it goes.

A guy on another forum gave me what I guess are fiber washers. He had a company that manufactures stuff is about all I know. He had put them on a couple transfer cases. Said they work great so he sent a set and they are on there. Fit really nicely in the cap and fit well around the rods. Gert actually helped out my buddy and I with the rods.

Thanks for that info, Belizean. I think I know what you are referring to, like the ouput yokes on the classic D18 Transfer Case made out of felt.

Can’t say I have seen that on the T-18 . Think of a Lifesaver shape and made out of something kinda like red 3M Scotch Bright, but maybe not as bristled, but more dense.
