Quickfarms Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The shifter on my auxiliary transmission, Rockwell T226 transfer case, has an annoying rattle. The shifter consists of a loose clevis joint at either end of the rod and a metal shifter bolted to the floor of the cab. I added nylon washers to the lever pivot to take up the slop I have temporarily reduced the noise by running a bungee cord from the rod to the bed but it is still annoying The hole in the floor is covered by a thin piece leather, originally there was just a 2"x4" hole in the floor. The front clevis is a pain in the ass to get to and the pin on the clevis on the transmission is frozen in place. How can I quiet this noise down Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59512-auxiliary-transmission-shifter-rattle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Slide a piece of split foam water pipe insulation over the rod and fasten it with a few zip ties.

Freightrain Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 My compound shifter of my Triplex is crazy annoying. I've put heater hose down over it, not doing much of anything. I have to drive with a finger/hand leaning on the knob to keep myself from going insane on long trips. The transmission is just plum wore out. I removed the tower, welded the knob on the bottom and reground it to fit nice and tight in the slots of the shifter slide rods. I put new clevis's on each rod going to the back box. Nothing. I removed the slide rods and confirmed they weren't worn in the bores. Nothing. I greased it well. Nothing. Until I replace the transmission, there is nothing I will be able to do to remove the noise. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Quickfarms Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 The truck has less than 30,000 original miles on it so I am not dealing with too much wear just probably a poor design Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59512-auxiliary-transmission-shifter-rattle/#findComment-434458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
