Ax15 in a WJ?

I've been tossing around the idea of an AX15 swap in my 02 limited. Obviously isn't going to be a walk but what do you guys think? I found a good donor at the JY last week. Put a short shifter on it so it's not way up in the air lol

Way too many headaches to deal with as far as the PCM, pedal assembly, and any other crap you'll have to do. Not worth it.

Yeah. There really are no provisions in there to make it go. No Grand Cherokee since the '93 ZJ had a stick. It would be a LOT of work to get one in a WJ.

As to whether it's worth it...

sure doesn't seem like it for such a minor change. You'd have to hack up the interior a good bit to get the shifter in.

Somewhere in there I googled it and a lot of people reffered to agitated pancakes and blue submarine... Weird search terms.
