I just got my '98 XJ a few months ago and I'm not to happy with the automatic "T-handle" shifter. Any ideas? I was thinking about using a shifter from an older Grand Cherokee. I want something that feels more comfortable handling when I'm shifting into gear.

i've used them from an older grand cherokee. the zj ones fit right on perfectly, but i find them quite large so i went back to a newer xj handle on my renix.

I put a WJ shifter in my '98. All you need to do is cut down the WJs metal rod to fit.

Any more info? Was thinking it would be nice to get the WJ woodgrain knobs but everything I read said it wasn't doable so I didn't try

I've seen the "Drake Off-road" automatic shift knobs for the Wranglers. Anybody know if they will they fit on an XJ?
