Does anyone know what the knob is by the shifter in my 82 eagle SX4 with a 4 Spd ??? :newbie: :help: :eaglebig:
Without seeing a picture, I'm guessing it's a reverse lockout button.
Edit: Hold on a second... it's a knob, not a button... and it's by the shifter, not on the shifter...
Sounds like something a previous owner may have added. If you bought the car from James Bond, I'd say don't touch it. :o
Picture please
agreed, pictures please. My guess is passenger ejector seat ;D
Without a pic I say a added trans case shifter. Look underneath. Even with a pic I say the same. So look. Than tell us.
That's an odd one... I wonder what it could be myself.
Is it a push pull electrical switch? I would love to see if someone somehow retrofitted some type of electrical shift motor for the transfer case.
It is a Mechanical rod that when you push it up and forward its like it shifts it into neutral. I will send pics when I can. :eaglebig:
I wonder if its a transfer case shift rod that needs adjustment?
Would it maybe be for Hi/Low range in the T-Case?
lectrict lockers man,,
I got to thinking that it might be a cable control for the transfercase like in the eaglepedia http://www.amceaglenest.com/~iowaeagl/guide/index.php?title=Cable_Operated_Transfer_Case_Shifter_-_Joshpit2003 (http://www.amceaglenest.com/~iowaeagl/guide/index.php?title=Cable_Operated_Transfer_Case_Shifter_-_Joshpit2003)

semi-serious. I figure since i was bored I'd look for photos ;D
I don't know if this is relevant at all, but there was a push/pull button in our 78 Gremlin that would disengage the drive shaft from the rear differential. The car used to be towed by its original owner behind a Winnebago or something, and the push/pull button and the little doo-hickey it controlled would essentially put the car in neutral. Maybe something similar???

Could be. As my Eagles first owner use to pull it behind his motorhome and I have an odd little button in mine as well, though mine is at the bottom of the driver seat.
