Repeated Transfer Case Shifting

[dirtyfingernails]

Whenever I return from a drive in my deuce I shift the transfer case into low--it makes getting into the drive easier without having to touch the clutch. Is this repeated shifting of the T-case okay? I don't want to wear it out! Thanks.

You will be fine.

i think it would take about 200 years to wear it out at that rate

Thanks. Thought it might be a silly question--but what the hey.

You'll never know till you ask.

In my limited (1 year or so) of driving Shorty I have not had any problems with t-case shifting and I use both ranges all the time.

With the 52's, it's almost a necessity to start out in low range 2nd gear, run through 5th, then shift to high range 4th and 5th. It's kind of a pain, but works.

I do the same in stock form. Seems to accelerate better.

I all so do the same with no problems.

Many deuces....many years....many shifts......no problems....

So once you get to 5th low, it's ok to shift transfer on the fly to high and hit 4 and 5 high? Clutch in or out?

How about engaging front axle on the fly?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yes.
