Transfer Case Gear Lever - pin

[beg]

I had this issue and reported it to dealer when in for transfer case replacement last year so they should be aware of the issue that's if dealers are sending customer reports back to the mothership .

I've had mine wrapped with a velcro wire organizer since day one but would like a more elegant, permanent solution. Maybe the knurled pins are the way to go.

I know this is a frustration at IA. Dealers need to raise tickets with them for them to see the trends in items that fail. If IA are not notified then they can’t implement things on the line, at least that’s the gist of it.

So if you have an issue with anything then please ask if your dealer has raised it with IA. They have regular meetings to address these things and if it’s not passed on then, well we know how that goes.

As to the comment above about this site, I’m trying to get them to monitor the forum but it’s tricky.

The electrical kit is in the same box as the mechanical repair kit

You forgot to include the roll of fencing wire

I had the same problem.
As the pin was not available separately, the whole gearshift was replaced.
If I remember correctly, the pin is 24x3 mm.
I'm going to get 3.1 mm dowel pins as a replacement!

have you try this solution with the Mecanindus pin ? it good to slide in the lever ?

So far I've only kept them in the car as a spare in case the new one falls out again

Has anyone thought of Loctite Engineering Adhesive?

Folks with the zip tie fix, mind taking a photo?

Shh! That's far too obvious
The question is , would the mechanism ever need disassembly down the track , literally or otherwise?

Ah ok. Maybe I'll go the tape method out of sheer paranoia.

Unfortunately IA didn't

I'm surprised this hasn't come up earlier (or I missed it).

A single drop of any of the lower grade 6xx series Loctites would be adequate without being too strong to disassemble.

Loctite 222 could be used because it has a capillary action. One drop at each end of the pin.

I would avoid the 4xx series Loctites for this. Cyanoacrylate ('Super Glue') is too strong.

As with all Loctites, less is more (use sparingly).

Clear acrylic nail polish or a polyurethane timber sealant on both ends would wick in and retain the pin. Acetone will remove it.

Part A (only) of a 2-part metal epoxy is a good gap filler and might be enough to secure the pin.

Lots of options here.

Or, use a zip tie

Black Velcro cable tie works very well too… very subtle

I gotta get me one of those.

What about just a dob of hot glue in the hole?

I used 648 engineering adhesive

Preparation "H", or similar
