NP 203 questions

[cadillac_al]

I run nothing but 203's because I never want to be in 2wd. My old K20 shifted like butter for 20 years; couldn't ask for anything better. Then the chain went so i replaced it and used the shifter than came with it and it has been a bear to shift ever since. I bought my K10 a few years ago and that transfer shifts like a bear too. I see why they get the bad rap for shifting hard. I know they will shift like butter when everything is working right. With a 203 you rarely have to lock it in anyway so I see why the shifters freeze up and won't go all the way forward or back. They are both on my list for a complete lube job.
