I dont think that the 208 shifter`LL work on the 203, but, if You have the 208 shifter and a 203 shifter, You can easily combine the teo and with a little engunuity build the two shifters into a double sticker like I did Mine.
Was`nt too tough, but, You will need two linkage rods too.

There are some videos of taking two 203 shifters and building them into a twin stick, not too tough of a job it looks like to Me.
I had the 203 shifter from My 79, did some scrounging and picked up a shifter from the 208, built a twin stick out of what I had available.
Here is a video of a partial build for the 203 twin stick using two 203 shifters. He did`nt follow through with part 2 but I think there is enough information in here to get a good idea of how it is done.

I know I had looked at some that followed completely through with instructions and pics; I could`nt find them now.

Np203 Info

Ok so the np203 has 2 linkages that go to one shaft. The one shaft has a Big Oval part and a Little Oval part.

Here's the question, what does each one of those do the Big one (hi-lo) the Little one (2whl-4whl) or visa versa I Don't Know.

That's where you guy's come in. Thank's for any help.

Mark

farmer chris, you just brought back allot of memories. in the late 70's early 80's I used to work for off road supermart which wolverine was part of. I installed thousands of the part time kits sometimes 5-10 per day. btw wolverine was the original patent holder for the part time kits all others were rip offs. took them years in court to get it strait but they finally did. highdesertranger
