Description
Convert Your Ford to a Manual-Shift BW1356
When the electric shift motor on a Ford BW1356 starts giving you problems, converting to a manual-shift transfer case eliminates the electric shift system altogether. The problem is finding the factory hardware needed to make the swap.
Ford no longer produces the original manual transfer case conversion bracket, and used factory brackets have become increasingly difficult to find.
That’s why we recreated the hard-to-find components needed to install a manual-shift BW1356 transfer case behind an E4OD transmission.
Our BW1356 Manual Transfer Case Conversion Bracket Kit includes the conversion bracket, linkage rod, and linkage rod bushings needed to connect the factory-style manual transfer case shifter to the BW1356.
Instead of searching wrecking yards for decades-old factory brackets and linkage components, this kit gives you the key pieces needed to complete the mechanical portion of the conversion.
Important — Manual Transfer Case Required
This kit does not convert an electric-shift BW1356 transfer case into a manual-shift transfer case.
A manual-shift BW1356 transfer case is still required. This kit provides the bracket and linkage components needed to install and operate the manual transfer case in an E4OD-equipped truck.
If you’re ready to eliminate the electric transfer case shift motor and move to a mechanical floor-shift BW1356, this kit takes one of the hardest-to-find pieces out of the conversion.

Important
A manual-shift BW1356 transfer case is required.
This kit does not convert the internal operation of an electric-shift BW1356 into a manual-shift transfer case. It provides the bracket and linkage components needed when replacing the electric-shift transfer case with a manual-shift BW1356.
Not Included: Dorman #600-602 manual transfer case shift lever assembly.
9/16″-18 × 1″ bolts may also be required depending on the transmission and transfer case configuration.
