Thanks for the input, misguided as it is. :laugh: I'm replacing oil seals etc and need to get the front bearing cover off, which seems to be binding to the shift rods. I was assuming I could pull all the bits and pieces out and get the cover off, but so far no go. The twin stick was done by a PO, so he may have taken the pills out. I just need to see what I should be looking for before I break something.
*edit* By binding, I mean the t-case was damn near impossible to shift either stick. Once I dropped it and pulled the mounting bolts for the front cover I found the rods seem stuck in there. I pulled the inspection cover and the internals look to be in good shape and moving freely.
