Default Custom shift ***** - automatic

I've looked everywhere for some custom shift ***** to fit my '01 XJ and can't find any. Most of the cool ones I've found are for manual trans. Anyone have any info?

Couldn't find what you were talking about. Did find these cool ones though. Talked to a guy at their headquarters and said they were working on some for automatic shift *****.

Company's name is Whalen. Just so it's easier for you to search. They don't make shift ***** for autos either.

wareagle33, I'm the same boat. I want something different too for my 01 XJ. I remember seeing someones XJ auto with a round shift know with button on top. I didn't think to inquire about it then. You find something soon, please let me know.

REALLY sorry to necro the thread, but I'm seriously curious how this guy got the ZJ shift **** on what appears to be a '97+ XJ. I've been trying for almost two days now to get a ZJ **** on my 2000 and can't make heads or tails of why it doesn't work.

Except...that doesn't help. His video was the one I was following to do the swap.


EDIT: In fact, there is a fellow in the comment section of that video having the exact same problem I am with this.
