J-Shifter Spring?

[Kermit]

I think it is called a j-shifter. Anyways what kind of spring/where can I find one do I need for my 4x4 shifter lever. I'm rebuilding it and my Bronc didn't have one. I don't want to guess! lol it's a 75 Bronco by the way.

Thanks,

Pete

For a rebuild kit look at http://www.broncograveyard.com or http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com

Either place might carry the rebuild kit for the J-shifter. On a side note, might be a good time to go to twin stick.

Why is that shifter more benficial? I haven't really come across anyone who can give me a good answer. What does it do?

The twin stick allows you to engage either the front only, the rear only, or both, whereas the J or T shifter engages both or rear only. It gives you a choice of running in 2wd high or low and 4wd H & L. The other thing if you price them out, Wild Horses sells the J-shifter kit for $185 and the twin stick replacement kit for $150. Personally, I like the twin stick. I have it on my 48 Willys and wish I had the time & money to swap it into my EB. It is nice for the reasons I said, but it also keeps people from wanting to drive your rig....they are scared of all the levers /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
