1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I only need the one blue shifter seat for the FJ tcase. Hopefully that's the correct one since Marlin doesn't say otherwise.

I really hate to buy anything from Marlin any more tho. I'd rather boycott them if possible but they make some good shit that noone else does, that I am aware of at least, like the shifter seats.

 

Any time I would start moving from park it would clunk. I would just loosen everything, WD-40 joints (clean), silicon spray joints (lube), then tighten everything back up once its on the ground. Obviously shot bushings should be fairly obvious to the eye

 

i need to do these, finding gears in the crawler is more of a hope and a prayer

I just never remember to look and see if its a W/G trans whenever I think about ordering

 

Can't find it, grind it.

 

"That jig you made should make quick work of these brackets that were cut and ready to weld!"

The brackets



"Ready to weld"

 

If you stuck with the stick, it doesn't care about that little bit o rust

 

way of the road, bubs


shifter bushings? history
2nd gear? a mystery

 

In the case of mine the saying was lift it and shift it, wouldn't do third or 4th if I didn't pull up hard on the shifter.

 

Just move to the eastern side of placer county and you will not have to deal with it anymore. I'm pretty sure Grassvalley is no smog.

 

Yep, right.

Do I need two of these - one for the Trans and one for the Tcase, or this is just for the Trans (that's what it appears to me in the description)? Or, something else?

 

The option I highlighted gets you the trans seat and socket and the transfer case seat (t-case doesn't have a socket)

 

OK, I want 2 t-case and 1 transmission. So I need what you linked and then one of option 3 or 4 here? (they seem the same, even though there are two options)

 

You need one of the bottom ones

 

Would

But we've only got 3 MIG welders.

Maybe I should oxyacetylene weld it

Used it last week to cut some seized bolts and brackets from the owner's friend's bumper.

 

We also talked about doing the clutch at the same time. Am I going to be ordering that from Marlin as well? Might as well pay shipping once. I want a long lasting clutch, and while I know a lot of people don't like the OEM pedal feel, I don't mind it (vs. something that's really hard to depress). I say that to describe what I'm looking for so you can recommend something .

 

I'd get the marlin clutch, it's not hard to depress. It's just more defined

That's what I'd get with the SECO disc... unfortunately they're fucking OUT OF STOCK

 

@turbodb

We could always do your clutch later though, It's really not any easier with the case on or off. You're welcome to my trans jack and help (if you want it) later on down the road if you wanted to tackle that job.

 

I guess I should order some spring perches and chit for this shitbox if I'm gonna fix it over the holidays

not gonna count on cutting/re using the old ones

 

If you're gunna cry about a lil surface rust, maybe. You. Should

 

In CA, there's something for everyone to cry about
