I'm getting ready to order twin sticks for my t-case and as I looked at it i noticed the shifter base is all one with the tranny shifter,is this right ? does anyone a pics of a twin stick setup for a forward shift? is it a one peice replacement?

If you want twin sticks you are going to have to swap out your t-case for a top shift model or modify your case into a topshift model.There is no replacement shifter for that set-up.

why does MC site state they have them for a foward shift?

 

[drsmash]

There is two different types of forward shift the ones that marlin has is for the g52 seperate shifter style.Both shifters are in the tranny they have there own bases unlike that one pictured.

trade it for a topshift case or convert it to topshift?

Find a stock topshift shifter. Shift the hi-lo (left rail) from there by welding a u-shaped tab onto the shift fork in the reduction box.

Use your stock forwardshift shifter. Weld a tab onto the existing 2wd-4wd (right rail) shift rail per the Marlin or TG dual adapter (front case) instructions).

You can do the opposite, but topshift 2wd-4wd rails are getting as rare as hen's teeth!

Doesn't hurt to run with the pin out. I pulled mine about 6-7 years ago when I put the rebuilt case in, figuring some day I might do a twin stick. Works fine with a single stick shifter.

I recall a thread here from a few years back where someone opened up the notches in the shift rails to let a single stick shifter pop back and forth between the 2-4 and H-L sides.

4CrawlR, could you simply grind down the base of the shifter so it's a small, square tip instead of the rounded tip (giving it room to slip from one rail notch to the other?)
