HJ47 transfercase shifter vibration

Joined: 25 Feb 2008 Location: Charters Towers

Hi all,
I've got an '81 HJ47 with low k's.It runs like a train but the transfer shifter has a vibrating noise.When I put my hand on the top the vibration/noise stops.The transfercase works fine and is not noisy when in operation.
Can anyone tell me what might cause this and how can I fix it?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers Confused

There would be bushing where the linkages go from the shifter to the case. Maybe these bushings are busted. Would take two seconds to slide under and wobble and shake a few things.

Easy fix is to keep your hand on it Very Happy

As stated above climb under and check for any movement. There are a couple of plastic bushings that may need replacing.
