twin stick

I have a 1960 cj5 it has a t90 tranny and twin stick transfer case (not sure witch one) am wondering if there is a problem with the levers on the transfer case they have a lot of play from side to side like maybe there is a bushing wore out. there is only one anti rattle spring and according to my Moses ludel there should be two. Is there supposed to be that much side to side movement? I currently have the tranny transfer case on the bench and when you pull the lever one way you can see it almost comes out of the groove on the engagement rod. maybe this is normal?

 

There should be 2 anti rattle clips, one on each rod. These take up a lot of slop in the twin sticks. The clip you have may also be worn.

 

I will get a couple of anti rattle clips then and take it apart that will give me a chance to look at the holes in the levers. thanks

 

i just installed some on mine.
where do they go?
it's one of the mysteries.

P.S.
get the ones that have the hole .
not the slot.

 

Will do, where did you get yours at? thanks!!

 

actually herm the overdriveguy gave em to me .
he threw em in as a freebee with an order.
(i think he felt sorry for me...)

but WALCKS and all those other willys places have them.
they are cheap.

 

Also check the pivot pin for wear. Very common for the pin to wear and add to the play you are experiencing. Between the pin and the anti rattle clips your play should just about disappear.
