My tcase is popping out of gear while driveing and linkage appears to be fine what all could be doing this and how much $ we talking to fix the issue.

Most likely it's the range fork inside the tcase. The range fork has nylon guides that allow the range gear to ride in, if they get worn out the gear eats into the aluminum fork, and allows it to pop out of gear. More than likely, the oil pump spun and you have no lubrication.

Parts wise, if the fork is okay, you need the $6 inserts and probably a new bracket for the oil pump. If the fork is toast, I found one for $20 a few weeks ago. Tool wise, you need a good pair of snap ring pliers and lock ring pliers. You can do this yourself, provided you pay attention to how it comes apart. It's easily a day job taking your time.

These guys treated me right....

So is this a common problem with these or a 1 in a dozen kinda thing and where would be a good place to get the parts at?

sry didn't see link at bottom of page wonder if transtar would have these then cause I get discount from unoh if they do

Is some what common. Happpened to my truck too, it was the reason I got it so cheap.

I just pulled another tcase to solve the problem. But you can pull the case apart and shim the linkage shaft with washers to keep it from popping out. That's how how I got "fixed" mine for about a year or so. I put another one in for peace of mind and haven't looked back yet.

K thanks guys and 1 more thing would this be the reason it won't go into 4lo

 

[gonecrazyi]

Possibly if the plate is moving away from the shifting shaft
. Mine would do 4 low but not high.

k mine has 2hi 4hi but won't hold them unless there under load but when it starts grindin I just push it forward and it goes away and all is great

 

[nyteshades]

Could be the mode fork. It's spring operated, and they have a tendency to eat **** as well.

 

[90idi4x4]

What is that and how hard is that to get at

 

[nyteshades]

Mode fork comes out to get to the range fork.

The bronco guys did an awesome writeup with pics.

Its not that bad of a job bit make sure you put everything back in correctly.

Just pull the tcase apart until you get to the shaft that the outer shift linkage connects to. Take it out and find some washers that will lipped the shaft from dropping in the case.

Its honestly easier to get another one.

K so got into lookin at t case and found it really low on fluid so would that cause it to kick out or not?

 

[Diesel_brad]

I can get used t-cases for about $100 so it is not worth my time to bother trying to fix one

U should hook me up its the only thing holdin me back from drivin it
