Not sure yet, I have an auto, so use is minimal, I have time to figure it out. I have heard that some Ford Explorer cables will work, but can't really confirm.

So lets see...... Installed the cb, new adjustable track bar, alignment, fixed the transfercase linkage. And all before 10 am. Then beat the day lights out of it and tried to break more

Just go to a good motorcycle shop (not Harley dealer) and tell them the length you need and they can custom make you a cable

Hey does anyone know if it's ok to put Mercon V in the transmission? The guy at O'reilly's told me it's what I need. Normally I don't trust them but they confused me when they asked me which transmission I have . Speaking of, I'm still not sure which one I have. I picked up 2 quarts of Merc V along with the gasket at trans filter kit so I can change my trans fluid this weekend.

I would assume it would be fine, but from thus point on you'll only be able to put 5 in it. You can go up but not Down.

Alright maybe I'll do my front pads tonight, then pick up diff fluid and ATF tomorrow so I can do my transmission and my front and maybe rear diff if I have initiative. I guess I should do the transfer case as well, since we're coming close to 100K miles.

Replaced one of the front hub assemblies (wheel bearing). That 36mm nut kicked my ***!
