Redi Sleeve Shifter Shafts

[MatthewH]

I'm getting ready to reseal my tcase, and been thinking on how to install these on the shift rails, and where at?
I know these guys aren't long enough to cover all positions, so I assume I install them when the shafts are at 2hi position.
Thanks

You can hop over to G741 and either search or ask the question. They are all about M37s although some of us lurk here too... Can't answer you question but know someone there will.

I would try to find new shift rails as I don't believe this is a good application for a speedi sleeve. I got a pair from AB Linn for less than $10. Don't know if he has any left, but worth a try. Other options would be plating and grinding your shafts or making new ones. M Series has new stainless ones available.

That's what I was wondering. All the rebuild threads I've found online give part numbers and quantities, that being 2 shaft seals, and corresponding redi sleeves. I've been trying to figure out how they'd work, being a linear action.
At this time, I'm not looking to replace the rails, just reseal and see how the case it self holds up with the conversion in working on.

Good choice!

I can hardly imagine how that would work, except that the shaft was turned down a bit - enough so that when the sleeve is on the O.D. is restored to original size ( = 3/4").

Usually these shafts are made of mild carbon steel, so one can grind off all the rust-pitted areas, weld it up (with MIG) and then turn and finish on the lathe.
Of course, do NOT do this (!), if you can find replacement shafts for $10 a pair...!

I'm just gonna reseal, redi sleeve the yokes, and run it.
I may end up rebuilding it down the line, but other than leaking seals, the bearings seem tight, not alot of lash. We'll see how it holds up, hear they don't like high speeds,
