Is the 205 twin sticked?
No it is not. But my shift rails are grooved badly from the seal lips. And I don't want to spend 250 bucks on an NOS set. So help me out here Gonz. Twin sticking give you low range 2WD and >???? A twin stick set of shift rails is about 124.00 Then I would need the shifters.. This gear box is killing me. You will see in the next post why.
I hope the transmission is in better shape than this 205. I knew when I found water inside it may be bad. I need two new gears, I had one of them, and I need a new rear output and a new front output shaft. Rather then buy imported repro's I found both shafts original and in way better shape than mine on ebay. I am waiting on bearings and all the replacement gears. In a sense this gearbox was almost not savable. But I found everything fortunately. It is just questionable on how much it took to make it go.
The rear output.

I hate waiting for parts to show up.
That there gears look ugly. I've seen somewhere that someone modified the stock NP200 shifters to run a twin stick 205. I think it was here.
Was there sand instead of oil in there Al?
I believe it may have been rocks... Bathed in some type of metal eating acid. Ugly huh? Glenn I will have to look for that. But, I suspect I will be leaving the single stick. I custom made the entire thing so I am proud of it. LOL I pulled the drain plug on the transmission. I got about a tablespoon of water. Yikes.. I know second gear was bad. I bought a replacement a couple years ago. I am pulling the trans and motor very soon. Getting into both of them.
I pulled the transmission and engine out yesterday. The trans looks good inside and second gear needs replacing. I bought a gear on ebay when I first looked in there a couple years ago and have it. I am hoping the engine is in good shape inside. I have to wait till the 205 is rebuilt. I don't have any room to spread out anything else. I need a bigger shop. grin.. 9 degrees this morning.
Here you go Al:

I did this to my NP205 that I never did install years ago. I really have no memory of doing it so the process couldn’t have been that complicated with an assembled transfer case.
