TCase Dana-20 linkage

[407-loco]

Has anyone rebuild there linkage watched a really good video on YouTube but can't find the parts myself. Few people on ebay has bushing and hind joint replacement but no complete kit.

Novak has a complete part list (they say they have available) and a great step-by-step with exploded diagram.

And here's a kit with every part except housing, pan cover, and gears themselves. Complete Kit

Full shift linkage kit: Linkage Kit

Shift linkage bushings: Bushings only

Heim join shift rod: eBay link

I twin-sticked mine and love it. Don't use the option for front wheel drive only too often, but nice to have when I needed it; and love the easy linkage setup. P.S. I also used heim joints and threaded rod - just some generic stuff from the hardware store.

Thanks
I ordered everything from Barry's last night. Glade you didn't come up with anything cheaper. Can't believe the linkage rebuild is going to cost more than the transmission rebuild

I rebuilt my own using most parts from tractor supply. Just a note, the 2 sheet metal caps, on the end just inside, dimple them with a point like a philips head, to get it to seat tighter. You'll see what i mean when you install them. After you tap them in see if you can wiggle and pull them out by hand. Every time I look at a Dana 20 they are missing 1.

Wasn't going to replace the caps should I. Was just doing the bushings and the double heim joints along with pan gaskets and all for seals

I never replaced the caps if the current ones look OK. But "BrockGrimes" is right. Ding 'em a bit to seal better when you reinstall them. If they wiggle, they'll fall out. No bueno.
