Thats my shifter for my 1999 cherokee classic. i don't think it should just fall off like that.

 

glue,glue and glue some more,gorilla glue

 

So you cant buy a new one?

 

lol jy dig for it! haha i dont know how the button works, but not sure glue fixes that

 

yea,ur gonna have to hit up the jy and get a new shifter,it seems like itll be aot of work tho

 

yeah idk about glue.....

 

maybe not so hard,im not sure how they work really it might be easy,but i was jk about the glue though

 

When you push the button, there is a piece with an angle that slides over and pushes down on the piece inside the shifters shaft. Same thing happened to my 87. Just ditched the handle and pushed down on the plastic piece in the shaft to shift. I think there is some sort of pin or lock ring you remove to pull the handle off.

 

just push it back on. i know to take mine off you can just pull up on it and it will come off. should go on by pushing it in

 

Scroll down a bit on this page and you'll see it.

Cheers!

 

So if i get a new one its just a matter of pushing the new one on?

 

i say leave it. just push the button to shift. free weight reduction.

 

Get a red button make it like a joystick to a toy grabber, or a missile launching button or something of equal aesthetic value

 

Can you really buy one of those? Link?

 

you might have a broken piece of plastic in the hole in the shifter handle.
it helps hold it on the shifter.

yes, they do just pull on and push off. no clips or anything.
and don't use glue, you'll never get it to work properly and just make a mess of things.

go dig one up at a junk yard. you can even use one from a zj.
