whobbies 1 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 Our Troopers shift mechanism is very tight and the cables are all pretty new and in good condition, it's lubricated but it is still very stif to operate, is this normal? If not can someone give me a clue to what would cause this? I tried the obvious that's why I'm asking. Thanks, Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocmoc 12 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 Mine is tight and you have to hit the gear nearly perfect. I drove Lenny's and his shifts easier than mine. Mine was a little easier/better before I had the trans work done. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It feels like the shifter binds, I may have to disconnect each cable to see if that is where the friction is? Let me know if your friend is interested.

whobbies 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 what are you asking for the trooper? where are you located? Rick, Just found out that the company we use does not ship vehicles. There are many in the US that do so no crating is required. I will have my office make a few calls, and you may do the same if you want. Our zip code is- 33852 and we are located in Lake Placid Florida. I have a loading dock and fork lift so loading is no problem. The weight is 1800 pounds I think. Length about 8' and width about 5'. That should be enough info for a solid quote. You can always call me at: 800 444-1995 Just let the girls know what it is in reference to. Thanks, Tony C.

whobbies 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 what are you asking for the trooper? where are you located? Rick, I'll take $5000.00 for it. I also have some spare parts like a starter, cables, some hydrolics. Here's what is wrong. By the way it runs great. I also added a good quality K&N filter piped up. 1)- Time to address the diffs, I have one kit that I will include. (shims, hardware the $100.00 kit) 2)- Front 4WD actuator crapped-out The condition is great as well, it s yellow. Has the spare tire mounted on the rear cargo thing. Tires are in good condition at least 60% left. It's a nice product just too much for me with my life demands to keep up on it. We also live in a sugar sand area and I think I am going to get her an automatic 4WD big 4-wheeler, one of those family models. Thanks, Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
