Since i done the body lift and someone worked out my shifter case its great ... BUT IM STUCK ON 4X4 if i try to move the 4x4 stick i cant its like it dont reach down to the 2WD it block on the body or plastic thingy ... anyone had that problem ?? what can i do to fix this ??
remember its only the 4x4 shifter ..

The kit came with a shifter extension, did they install it?

Mac

well mac to tell you ... i dunno ...
i didnt see how it was done ...
I just know my 5 speed shifter is back to normal hight and works fine the dude had to cut around in the console ... what im talking about is the little shifter for the 4x4 options the mini one ... anything has to be done on that one ??

man im starting to regret taking it to that guy i should of shoped around for better people ...

That is the one there should be an extension for, it is about 3" long milled steel with a threaded hole in it for the shifter knob.

There is an install on zukiworld look under article archives, and 3" suspension lift for sidekick, the body lift is in there as well.

If you can't get it sorted out, I don't know how often you head towards Ottawa, but there is a friend that lives in Embrun (between Montreal, and Ottawa. That knows Suzukis inside and out, has built coiled Sami's the whole bit, he would be able to help you out. If you need I can get you his number.

Im talking about the oteher shifter the small one that makes u shift between 2wd , 4wd  it seams stuck on 4x4

The 4wd drive shifter, is where the extension is to be installed, did they install it on the transmission shifter??

Someting i dont get .. do both shifters have to be extended or only the 4x4 one ?

If the guy extanded my regular shifter and not my 4x4shifter  can that be why it wont go down ot 2WD ?

And will any 4x4 performance place fix that for me ? welde an extantion to my 4x4 shifter ??

Man everyone must hate me so much for asking so muich questions lol  :-/ sorry  but running 4x4 all day all week eats up the gaz and im sure it aint the best thing to do either ...  

You could extend both, but the extention was meant for the transfer case ( 2x4 to 4x4), the instruction say to heat and bend the transmission shifter and to extend the Transfer case shifter

Mac

If it binding and won't go down far enough, to move into 2wd that is your problem.

Mac

the housing of the ( 2x4 - 4x4 ) did it have to be cut around like the transmision shifter housing
maybe thats the problem .. ill try to have a look at it when im back home .. ( ya im at work now hehe )

hehe i think thats it ... oh god imma go back to gramby and beat the sh!t out of the guy who installed this .. next time ill pay more and do it in montreal  ill learn from my leason  thanks so much my canadian friend hehe

When installing a body lift taller than 2 inches, you should extend both your manual shifter as well as your 4x4 shifter. They have to come up through the floor far enough to work. Otherwise they get stopped by the metal of the floor, or the plastic of the console. You can cut the holes in the floor bigger also. (I don't think that looks as good though.)

I have a picture of my extended shifters:

These were extended 3 inches at the base, before the bend.

Do i just have to extand it 3" and it should work ?
Or do i have to bend it as well
( talking about the 2x4 - 4x4 shifter )
