Like! I just pulled the manual pedal set from the 73 J4000 to use on the 83 Cherokee. Let's see how that goes.
It looks like a factory hydraulic master exists from 79 on... Hopefully the old and new work together

since we are reviving the old thread, I would like to discuss the tcase shifter and such. I have a 208 behind my 727 and really want to move away from the flag shifter to one like you have. What shifter did you use and what other details can you share?

OP hasn't posted anywhere on the site in over 2 years. I would not recommend holding up your build until he does!
He did mention in one of the earlier posts in the thread that the linkage was recycled 727 shifter linkage. The shifter looks like any bog-standard straight shot floor shifter. You could really use any straight shot (or dog-leg) 208 shifter (or a universal, for that matter), just as long as you know the shift pattern on the 208 (assuming the shift pattern doesn't match what is written on the ball).
This is the Chevy shifter they used for decades. It has a dogleg/"z" gate plate, but only the handle pivots -- the linkage beneath just goes back and forth.
1990 Grand Wagoneer with HD towing package -- everything works! (for now...)

We drove the Waggy nearly everyday until Fall 2015, when we lost a head gasket. The transmission swap never gave us a minute worth of trouble. We parked it and decided to build the wife a CJ. The Waggy is the next project, and will be getting an LS, NV-4500, and Dana 300.Tim & Sarah

Originally posted by MtnYJHi there fellas, it's been a while since I visited here! As far as the shifter goes, if I remember correctly I used the shifter out of the same J truck that donated the NP-208. I don't recall it even being as complex as acct21's pictures - I'm pretty sure I just used the pivot point that bolts to the floor. That pivot holds a simple t-case shifter rod, then the bottom end is connected to the modified 727 linkage pieces. I know that's still not a ton of detail, but it is pretty simple linkage, and works extremely well. There's no binding at all, I can pretty much shift into/out of 4WD with one finger.

Where did the photos go? d
Where did the photos go? I was using this a my bible for my build and I'm stuck how I should set up the linkage for 4Lo/Hi on my NP228.
If there's anyway to recover the photos or if anyone has some tips on how to best connect the linkage for 4Lo/Hi that would be a huge help to me!
I'd like to be able to use the original shift lever on my 89' that's on the floor near the driver's seat.
Hope someone sees this and can help!
