Toyota Transfer Case Short Throw Shifter

Description

One common problem on 4WD Toyota trucks is the transfer case shift lever binding when shifting into the various 2H-4H-N-4L positions. The lever has to move quite far, especially to select 4L and often it can bind with the shifter boot or the sheet metal surrounding the shifter hole in the floor of the vehicle. This problem is exacerbated by a body lift, where you are raising the body up and away from the transfer case. With a 2" body lift, you need about twice the clearance around the shifter as you did at stock height, due to the increased length of the shifter from the shifter base (while the actual angle that the shifter moves through is unchanged with the body lift, the distance the lever moves is increased the farther up the lever you move). Likewise, with dual transfer case installations, the rear most shifter can be constrained by the center console.One option is to shorten the throw, or angle, that the shift lever moves to affect the gear selections. One way to do this is to raise the shifter pivot base 1" and extend the end of the shifter 1". This does two things:1: It raises the lever up 1", thereby negating 1" of body lift height.2:It halves the angle the lever needs to move, since the stock pivot is ~1" above the end of the shift lever, doubling that to 2" makes the pivot length twice as long and therefore needing half the angle to make it move the same distance.This thing is comprised of 2 pieces, a bolt on extension for the end of the transfer case shifter…
