Hi guys -
I'm back. I finally got around to dropping the skid plate and looking
in the T-case.
Yes, it has been quite a while since my original question...I've since
started a new job which took up my time and fortunately for me I have
another car to use.
So to refresh this is a 82 cj7 I6, T5, 300transfer case.
Mark, Bill and MikeR where all exactly correct - the setscrew is still
in there but completely loose.
So does anybody happen to know what size that setscrew is? it is an
allen head screw right? and it will it be standard not metric?
second, is it worth trying back it all the way out and put some
lock-tight on the threads before re-installing? (in other words does
it come loose often?)
I have some 6inch long allen's that go into a nut-driver handle but
none the right size. I'm hoping to go pick up the right size if
anybody can point me in the right direction. They are nice and skinny
and can get up into there. Is there a better tool I could be using
for this?
Also, both manuals I have reference 'align the setscrew holes in the
fork and rod' - is there a certain position the shift lever should be
in while tightening?
Thank you very much for your previous (and future) answers -

Yes sir - well what is the world coming to?
I dutifully went and bought sae stuff tonight after work.
Funny thing is 5/32 (aka 3.97mm)is just a bit too loose and 3/16 (aka
4.76mm)is definitely too big.
According to a metric convertor, 4mm falls just between those two sae
sizes.
Think I'll go pick up a 4mm tomm. just to try it.
Thanks
