Dana 20 twin stick rear won't shift back into high

[74brnc]

Hello, any help/advise is appreciated. My Bronco has a Dana 20 twin stick setup. I was helping a neighbor pull a stump over the weekend, and locked my t-case in low as well as the hubs, since then I can free the hubs fine and I got the t-case out of 4-low into neutral but when trying to shift the rear back into hi it won't go. With extreme pressure sitting at a stop transmission in neutral it will start to grind when trying to force it. I can put it back in low range. But I would sure like to get it back into high soon any ideas? One note I was on dry pavement when pulling that stump. And the t-case output shaft seal leaks a little not bad though.. It was doing that before. Could it be low on geear oil? So much for being helpful. Thanks for reading this.

Hi 74., welcome..,

More info. needed... You could fill-in your profile & sig. pages (see mine below) it shows on ev. post.

Eng. trans., floor shifter., mods., etc., etc. Basically, everything you know 'bout your rig...

May need to pull the floorboard shifter cover & have a look... But I/WE don't know what's there on the floor, if anything.

Thanks I just figured it out. I removed the boot for the twin sticks and found the stick controlling the rear was bottoming out on the tunnel/floorboard. Strange that it didn't do that before. But I made the modification, and it slipped right into High range. I'm glad it was that simple. I should have looked before posting. Thanks for inquiring to help.

Hmmmm..., Isn't that what I suggested...?

"May need to pull the floorboard shifter cover & have a look..." >< <'>

Just a "heads-up".., as this happened "yank'n a load"., might want to insp. all the motor/transf. mounts. :-B
