I have a 1989 gear t/case out of a Surf and it is a top shifter. I used this and a 4-speed t/case for my duals. It seems the latter 5-speed model top shifters are not widely available in OZ, may only be available on imports :?: Not sure about this.

why do you need 2 tops shifts ?
what are you running now?
aslong as you have a gear driven transfer now you can use it for your front cast and the top shift for your 2nd case
