NP208 to NP241 linkage question

[wforicv]

Swapped in a NP241 for a broken 208. The linkage SHOULD be the same, right? I thought my old linkage would work from my 208. Can't seem to get it to work with the 241. Anybody got a pic of a 241 linkage? It seems like the arm is not "angled" right.

Same shifter and linkage.

Thanks man, it must be all about the angle of the dangle.

nope not the same.

The 241s shifter arm is different. Its clocked 90* differently then the 208. Best bet is to jut cut it near the end where it bolts to the case, turn it 90* and weld it back together. Or if you have the 241 shifter arm, just replace the 208 one with the 241 piece.

good to know I thought it was a direct swap

Thanks sled dog, I thought I was going crazy . I do not have the 241 shifter arm. Does anyone out there have a pic of a 241 arm? Better yet would be a pic of a modified 208 arm.

I can try to get you a pic of a np241 arm tonight or this weekend. I have 2 np241 shifters also.

 

[wforicv]

Thanks, that would be great.

I just did the same thing and the 208 shifter bolted right up to the 241. I got the 241 shifter with the T/C and it is the same as my 208.

the metal plate that bolts to the transfer case itself? I swapped a 241 for a 208 and the shifters were different. Ryan(Tork) swapped a 208 for a 241 and also found the shifters to be different, he is the one who thought of just cutting, clocking, and rewelding the 208 shifter.

i helped a buddy swap a 241 from a 89 blazer to his 87 k10 and the linkage was the same, didn't need any adjustment either.

I am doing the swap right now. I am replacing the NP208 on my 86 K5 with a 241 from a 89 K-5 and the linkages are exactly the same....
