I have purchased new / modified and have also hand ground with fresh flap disk on grinder and both times worked just great .

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

did you modify rails or buy them? I would imagine that could play a role and also the spring pressure (or lack of) will effect the feel of those rails sliding.

Awesome. I havent looked super close into doing it yet but it seems like something i can mill out at work.

Stock rails. Aside from billet covers, the 205 wasn't touched. One shifter had nice detents then I switched to the twin stick and the "feel" almost completely went away.

I really like the viewing window on this set up to see if theres any oil. I may do something similar.

It seems simple enough....

BOOM!

and I think my JB Fab twin stick kit came with directions on how to modify the rails. I could scan it to you, I really didn't look at it too closely since I chose to buy the modified rails from JB with the adjustable spring rail detent kit.

Awesome so they gave you instructions to do your own either way? Id like to take a look at that.

yeah with the twin stick kit I'm pretty sure I saw directions on how to modify the rails as well. I'll take a look tonight.

Sweet thanks! Ill probably rip into the 205 box this weekend to sell some of the parts then bore the case.

Epic. Thank you!

Yup. Looking at the clocking plates now. I suppose the idea is to get the bottom of the 205 parallel to the ground?

 

[sweetk30]

na most are 2" up rotation for flat bottom 205 in relation to flat of 203 bottom .

 

[82355]

stock single lever yes .

twin stick SO MUCH BETTER . and lube the rails a little bit now and then with little spray can oil helps a ton .

No, I have triple stick shifters. Won't shift for ****. The NP205 in my 1975 K5 (out of a 1980 K5) is the one of the very few easy shifting NP205's I have come across, and it has a stock shifter.

Ok i think i got that! thanks!

 

[blazinzuk]

Course you could always flip the 203

Haha yeah it could happen! That damn 205 is no joke with its weight. Im going to have to build some epic cross members to hold up that damn thing. I almost dropped it out of my truck. I think i need to go get another caster roller from HF to get it around.

 

[muddermilitia]

As a side note when I have mine in low-low-low I have accelerate to get down a hill. The engine braking is insane.

Yes yes! This is what I need! thanks!

My 205 is hard as hell to shift too! triple cable shifters from NWF for me.


My 205 is clocked up 3". Eventually some day I would like to flip the 203 upside down and re design the xmember.

 

[sweetk30]

I lube my hiem joints on linkage and shift rails now and then with this stuff . works super . comes out heavy foam to stick then turns to semi thick oil to cling and lube good .

and my stuff is on a plow truck in the HEAVY rust belt of the north east
