So, this is gonna sound stupid but, how the hell do you get the shift **** off of an AX15 shifter? I've been messing with it and can't seem to figure it out haha

 

Pry the part with the 1-5 & R on it. Remove the nut & it shifter will spin off.
Be warned, when you pry it out you will just about destroy the ****. Anyone got a tip on how not to ruin it?

 

I tried that but, I stopped once it started to mess the **** up.

Wrong kind of shifter

 

I tried mine and I sat in the front seat and ate kryptonite then pressed the button and with super human strength yanked it right off. Remember, use the proper tool.

 

That still doesn't change the fact that I have a manual, not an automatic

 

Sorry about that. OK then just skip the kryptonite and try this at your own risk.

Follow the stick to the bottom, and there will be a rubber gasket/cover. Pull this piece up out of the way. There is a small piece that the shifter goes through, brass colored. Push this piece down and turn about an 1/8 to 1/4 turn counter clock wise, the whole stick will pop out. very easy.

 

I need to remove the ****, not the whole lever....

 

Btw, I removed the shift ****, you do have to pop the H pattern cap off and there is a nut under it. Unfortunately, the shift **** I wanted to put on wouldn't fit so I had to put the jacked up one back on

 

I guess I was looking at your sig and honed in on the 97 4.0 AW4. I like targets.

 

Hahaha sorry about that. I use the app on my phone, which doesn't show sig's so I never think to update it. That jeep is long gone, I drive a 99 4.0 AX15

 

Do yourself a world of favor-

You'll love it, trust me.

 

That thing looks sweet but, for $235, that's not gonna happen

 

Yeah, want a Hurst shifter really bad but can't justify the cost.

If my Jeep stops breaking things, I always wanted to put in one of these:
