Schematic of a transfer-case shifter gate from the driver side and rear, labeling shift positions and pivot bolt.

AI caption · Photo 66 of 297

This is a simple hand-made schematic (illustration) showing the transfer case shifter gate and lever geometry, uploaded to the gallery of a 1988 Ford Bronco. The left drawing depicts the shifter gate as viewed from the driver's side, with the four shift positions labeled from front to rear: 4x2, 4x4 High, Neutral, and 4x4 Low. The stepped shape of the gate cutout is drawn, showing how the lever travels through the notched pattern between positions. The right drawing shows the shifter lever as viewed from the rear, with a red arrow indicating direction (presumably forward/toward the front of the vehicle). Two components are called out: the 'gate plate' (shown as a vertical plate the lever passes through) and the 'Pivot bolt' (the bolt at the base of the lever about which it rotates). The document contains no year, model, part numbers, torque specs, or other text beyond these labels. A reader can learn the order of the transfer case shift positions in the gate and identify the pivot bolt and gate plate locations on the shifter assembly.
