While removing the transmission for overhaul, I noticed how crooked the Transfer Case Shift Linkage rod is and wondered if that was "normal" (as in intentionally bent as an adjustment from the factory) or if it was supposed to be Straight and was bent through years of service, etc? So, Is it supposed to be Straight or bent/crooked? image.jpg (100 downloads)

I have seen a drawing of it in the Dodge Factory Service Manual, but the drawing does not show the entire shaft/part. The Factory Parts Manual would likely show it, but I don't have that manual. I have seen photos of similar looking later-model shafts, but they are Straight and have an adjustable-length end piece that has a Set-screw.
