Transfer case stick rattle

Postby MD93 » Thu Mar 03, 2016 2:11 pm

Hello, I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not but the transfer case stick in my '93 rattles so loud that it is hard to hear conversations within the cab. Has anybody figured out how to bush, shim, or otherwise make this noise go away? Thanks

First I would check and see if the transmission mounts need to be replaced or tightened, secondly the shifter has a large spring and nut that preloads tension on the side of the pivot point. It could be adjusted for more or less tension and in turn change how it vibrates.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I replaced the mounts when I swapped in my NV4500 and I have tried tightening and adjusting the nut at the pivot. Does anybody know a place where I could order a new spacer/spring for the transfer case stick pivot?

Also check the body mount bushings. I chased down this issue as well. Trans mount was bad and so replaced that, the rattle continued. Checked the shifter mount on the T case and it was fine. Turned out to be worn out worn cab mount bushings causing the handle to lay too close to the opening.

Has anybody ever found a source for the bushing/spring for the T-Case shifter?

So...? Make it not gated. Transfer cases are the same internally, its just the guide on top of the shifter that makes it "gated".

I know the transfer case itself is not gated, the "guide" that is mounted to the flood where the stick comes through the cab is. I'm sure I could fix it similarly to that post, I was just hoping to find OE replacement stuff. I mean the couldn't have been that noisy originally?!?
