Pics would help a bunch... but Cheepin posted the correct shift pattern for GM.

I am not sure what is going on w/that second stick. This will be interesting.

I don't know.. on a 205, one stick controls each output, so maybe they converted it back?? Odd.

The stock setup uses a linkage bar to link the two, so it is RWD to start, and as you shift it, the linkage engages the front output. Also be aware that adding another shifter and removing that link will not let you have front-wheel drive only. You need to grind the shift rail in the case for that.

yeah ill have to put up some pics .....well get to the bottom of this

so update i think i figured it out , the second stick it in the tcase but its a np203/205 doubler , which is still pretty cool im happy with it , ill just have to down the road split that 205 when i have time , thanks for all the help

I don't think I have ever seen a stock shift setup for a 205.

On my ford 205 the stick closest to the middle was the "rear" and the stick closes to the front output was "front" I did the shift rail grinding and seem to remember that the rails pushed in are as posted, all the way out low, middle N, and all the way in high.

I found that I could put a screw driver through the hole on the shift rail and shift them, you could un-bolt the linkage, put the rear in N and see if the front will go into low or high, it is possible it has already been modified.

For 2 high the "rear" rail will all the way in (to the back of the vehicle) and that "front" rail will be in the middle, also if your hubs are unlocked you can spin the front drive shaft by hand to see if the t-case is engaged.

With the 205 even when the front is in N it will spin as you drive since it is a gear driven case with gear oil in it.

I kind of miss my 203/205...

well thats what i thought at first , that this was a twin stick 205 , but when i popped my head under there the 205 wasnt split like normal , and thats when i put two and two together , the other stick was to control the 203 you can see the adapter and such but then i was well why didnt they split the 205 ? i just figure since the rig being a automatic , they felt that it didnt need to
