Default Boostwerks.com Shift Linkage

We've been working on a 231 Linkage kit of our own. Our current kit is for the Auto Trans and 4.0L motor only! We are currently working out the details on a specific kit for the manual trans and 242 apps. Kits are now in stock and ready to ship!

Sweet!
Will this work for the 231 and 242 transfer case?

Boostwerks...very nice! Glad to finally see a business pick up where Froelich left off. He was the only one offering these linkage kits. It should be a much more popular mod. It looks very adjustable too--interesting shift lever. Are you guys going to offer extensions for the shift lever itself (not the t-case lever)? The 242 requires this, unless that fancy bracket of yours works around that.

Anywho, to answer the OP's question, I got the Froelich kit before he threw his business under a bus. I had to make an extension to the shift lever for my 242 to work properly.

Also Boost, if you want real market competition, keep it under $80. The only other kits are Novak and DirtBound, and they want like 200 bucks. That's just outrageous.

That's a damn deal!

I'd probably be at twenty bucks for hardware to build one myself. Might have to preorder this.

Is PayPal the only option on your site? I was going to order tonight but I don't have PayPal. It just says PayPal and "Test Method".
