Thread: CDL Actuation with 10mm Spanner

So if you have a D2 AUTO then the D2a cable system is the only option.

Thanks Baz for that confirmation. I couldn't imagine ZF changing entire casting over an accessory mount.

Are you sure the D2 and D2a tunnel clearance is that smaller than in a D1 you can't use a D1 CDL/HL linkage. The ZF and LT's cases are idential and I thought D1 linkages use in D2 auto's was widespread????

You can use a D1 linkage, done it in my friends TD5.

The important bit is, you have to use a linkage for a manual FROM a manual and vice versa for an auto. This is because the mounting bracket that bolts to the transfer case and that holds the lever is different for both models. My friend purchased a manual linkage, we when to fit it and it didn't fit at all, so had to purchase the said casting for an Auto (picture)

below you can see the diff
