    Look on eBay. I got mine for like 80$.....also the diff lock doesn’t matter. That just means it will come with a switch in the t case.

    Also do you have a manual ? I had a 5 speed and installed a t case from a auto....the input shafts were different lengths

    Also the speed cable will be different

    Yeah like I said you can use a one from a automatic in a manual. You can also use one with the electronic speedo as well...just swap the parts from the old tcase

    Oh ha my bad... I’m no mechanic but I’ve always tried to work on my own to save a buck but I know just enough to be very dangerous...
    I thought shift on the fly was when you could shift into 4wd while moving
    Thx

    Ok mine is a jshift with no button but I can shift into four-wheel-drive while moving so I was told that is also considered shift on the fly...

    The j shifts are MUCH better are more reliable
