Ok so I got a twin stick shifter for my magnum but I didn't get modified shift rails as I Dany need the ability to drive in front wheel only with my tow rig.
Now im feelin some sorta way about having two shifters for the tcase.
I guess I'm a guy that doesn't like chit that don't function or that's for show.


So my question : order or modify my rails so the shifter isn't goofy or just go with it and bolt the shifters together.

Bare in mind I need this Tcase ready Friday so I'm a little late on this...
 
I get the fact it's a tow rig and not needing twin stick ability but with that mindset, why a Magnum for a tow rig?

For the money of the Magnum I'd twin stick it. Granted it's my wheeler but I didn't initially order twin stick rails for my Blazer but as time went on I regretted it. Like you said, sort of unfinished.

Next Friday? Yikes, You'd better order from someone on the west coast so it'll ship today and probably step up for at least UPS 2 day freight.

Yea really don't need em but the magnum wasn't much more than the adapters for the Allison
 
That's right, I forgot the Allison adapter thing. Realistically, if it's a true tow rig that will not wheel at any point then I wouldn't worry about twin sticking.

Note: I know that I just flip flopped but I in my first post I was solely thinking in term of Magnum cost but I am now backpedaling. :D

Yea I don't think I'll have the rails in time either so maybe I'll have to bolt the shifters together

I would not modify it and I would not have a triple stick.
Just one for the magnum and one for the 205.
But that's me
 
They are as pointless in a tow rig as the magnum. That said.

Who cares about functionality, they look fu©king cool.
 
So are you trying to decide about 2 vs 3 levers?
I would just do 2, since it may be a bigger fitment problem than 2.

That's what I meant.
2 not 3.
I know with the magnum the original shifter doesn't work.

that's the point but now what are the options for a single and that's the waste of a twin
