putting my dual cases together and one case is missing the shifter and clip and stuff. the base is good though.

looked at marlins.....nice and all but $129 .

looked at the fror twin stick....$200 thinking i should wheel it and see if i need/want that option.

is there anything else out there that i haven't seen?

 

[soopatoy]

you said you are missing the clip, is that the one at the top of the t-case?

[soopatoy]

You can build one for the low-range section pretty easy if you look and think about it. All it has to do is go back and forth: so a plate, a slot, some tabs, some flat stock, some rubber to act as a gasket and to help seal it up...

yeah,i've got pics saved of that triple shifter that had one built like that.

in my searching i read alot of complaints about noise coming through with the homebuilts and was looking for something with alittl more thought behind it.

The noise is a function of the boot. Ever notice Toyota's have 3 layers of shifter boots? Try running just one and listen to the noise

Multiple layers of boot material will quieten it down.

so you are giving me first hand info here? or just speculating?

when i look at it and "think" it seems that the way the factory type shifter goes together with the ball in socket is what quiets things down.

I have not run a solid shifter in a Toyota. I do know that every jeep I have ever owned runs solid mount shifter linkages. I do know that when I did my dual cases, I left out the bottom two shifter boots and I thought I had a problem too - until I reinstalled tham and it sounded just like stock again. I do know that I have given this suggestion to another friend with a similar problem - sounded the same as stock when he put the proper shifter boots back in place. I do know that I have made custom boots for my Jeeps and the sound deadening is significant.

What else do you want?
