You can spend longer on removing the OEM rivets from the shifter plate than the actual install of the linkage takes!! Do yourself a favor and use like #14 1/2 screws vs rivets on the re-install! It’ll make any future repairs a beeeze.

I have installed a transmission/TC & a TC with the D2 sitting on all 4 tires! Just jacked up the D2 to roll out the parts! It can be done with a small transmission jack from Harbor Freight & hand tools. A lift is awesome, but not really required.

Thanks looking at his signature looks like he scrapped that 03 too bad. If he still lives in Toronto he’s about 1 hour away

My local mechanic looked in his computer that tells him the labour to remove replace centre diff and it said 3.8 hours
he told me $350 cash
he charged me 300 cash to do my ball joint on the passenger side
