Are the shifter levers (the thing the **** attatches to in the cabin) the same on a Pugeot and AX transmission?

Long story. But in the pic you can see why I want to know...

 

Come on, folks, lots of views.

Someone has gotta know something.

 

The entire thing I believe not but the actual handle the black thing can also be removed and in probably will fit the others

 

I had the shift handle off of my Peugeot to replace the covers and the bottom of it "LOOKS" exactly like the big black part on the shift lever of the tranny in your pic. It was a P.I.T.A. to get off. Took me a few days and half a can of PB. The inside of the black part was square, with a rubber inset. It slips (not easily) onto the square part of the shift arm. Are they the same size? I don't know.

 

That's what I was thinking why would they make that part different if the both went into the same car

 

Because I have ****ty luck, and they are different transmissions.

At least that was my line of thinking. Nothing ever goes well or as planned for me. Ever.

 

Should have texted me. I went through this bs and did not have the right parts.
I finally ripped a shifter out of a 84 wrangler and used that because it bolts right to the transmission.
Up side. No more sloppy XJ shifter.
Down side. Goodbye center console.

 

Dang. Yeah, I prolly should have.

So...the BA shifter does not fit the AX? Crap.

 

Nope. Natta. Zip.
Welcome to upgrading your drive line lol

 

I shouldn't have let that lever get cut.

 

Whats under the plate on the trans? I can weld a rod there for temp use until I come up with something...as long as its easy to get at and swap.

 

The plate that bolts to the side of the tranny? Yea it's steel you should be safe welding to it.

Edit: I think I did that to lol been awhile.

 

You can weld anything to whats left of the shifter nub, my favorite is a friend with a 1.5" (something big) wrench welded on

 

What I meant is...what does the shifter linkage connect to under the top plate that is held on by those two bolts.

Is it easy to remove those two bolts, take off the entire shifter lever assembly, and replace it? Could it be done with the trans bolted in place if I remove the shifter boot?

I like the weld anything in place idea. A wrench or something would be really slick, honestly!

 

I installed my ax15 with out the lever I took the 4 bolts off and it slid out when I was done 3 of the bolts were able to get tightened from the top and one I used a wrench from below it's not hard
