3 shifters

i have a 78 cj7 with 2 shifters and i know what they are for but this 3 shifter has got me stumped !! could some one explain why 3 in my 63cj5 Thanks

oh yeah and can anyone tell me where i can find a manual for it???

 

My guess, you have a manual transmission and a twin-stick transfer case. Leftmost shifter is for the tranny, middle for 2wd and 4wd, rightmost shifts the transfer case between high, low, and neutral.

Another, but more unlikely scenario is a manual transmission, single stick transfer case and overdrive.

I've seen Jeeps with 4 - transmission, twin stick transfer case, and OD - fun stuff!

PS - stickers showing the various arraingments:

Beaten to the punch!!! (not evident, but you posted this before I edited my post to include link to said pic).

 

Mine has 6! One for the transmission, Two for the transfercase, One for the OD and two more for the PTO.

 

UWOP!! Hehehe. Things gotta look like a B-52 throttle.....

 

or the palcebo stick..................

 

While on this thread, I have newly aquired 1958 CJ-5 with exact 3 shifter pattern (2) senario. (also include no manual or prior knowledge).

For the jeep to move in either direction I have 2wd/4wd shifter enaged either way and she is fine and moves along. However, I (must) have to use shifter 3 in high or low. When shifter 3 neutral enaged - nothing at all.

Is that correct? I though maybe w/ shifter 3 in neutral that just tranny gears would work. Sorry in advance for such a naive question.

 

Yes Glenn that's how it's supposed to work. With the shifter 3 in H, there is no reduction from the transfer case and just the tranny gears work as you suggest.

 

Thanks ! now makes good sense.....manual is on order as well !

 

Sometimes you can have 4 like in mine. 1 for shifting, 2nd one for the Overdrive High & Low, 3rd one for engauging the Front Axle and the 4th one to shift the Transfer Case into High or Low. Mark

 

Hey Willy-N, what boot are you using as shown in the pic above. I can see that you slit the boot for the x-fer case, but it lines up nice with the OD and Tranny!!

 

Thank's Lynn!!

 

It was out of a Chevy 4X4 with floor shift and transfer case shift also on the floor. Sure worked nice cause you can form it to conform with the original floor pan angles. The $2.00 price tag was also nice! Mark

 

My three are: Trans on the left, Overdrive in the middle and transfer case on the right.

 

I too have four the same three as you plus a PTO behind the others. :hurrican:
