Ken you have the D2 twin cable set up. the feel on the knob will be different to your old Puma set up because of the cables (not rods). that said, you have been with the D2 set up for long enough to know its feel. if its freely moving and not offering engagement feedback at the expected engagement point in the range, i'd say the cables are at fault. could be a few things. Cables are disconnected from the shifter under your console. The cable sheath has come away from the bracket so the cable and sheath move as one. Or the connections at the transfer case end. If its both high/low & CDL, i'd take a punt that its the 2 cables at the shifter. that assumes there is no resistance to movement in and out of the selections. if it remains in High and does not pop out, unlikely you have a problem with the detent. I'd be surprised if the selector fork is shot, your transfer hasn't seen a long hard life.
touch on workingonit's post, the puma box is mechanically identical in its operation to every LT230 before it. Main differences are: speedo pickup is electronic not mechanical cable; different input gear profile. Sergio pointed out that there is a change over in case strength with extra ribbing on later cases but i think that change over was way before the Puma ie came in with the 300 tdi.
