Is it possible to get just a shifter lever aftermarket and not the whole shift kit? I'm looking for more back angle (towards back of jeep) and probably shorter. This is going to help me in designing my custom dash. Has to clear the parking break so maybe shorter, both in height and distance back.

Do you know about this?

Good read, however I'm in a manual

EZEARL

So much for that then.

SirCyber

Lol all good... I might just hack my shifter apart and reweld it at the angle I want. Couldn't be that hard right?

EZEARL

Well who woulda thought. And cheap to. yea right.

Precisely what I was looking for! Actually the exact one I was thinking about but long since forgot the website, thanks EZEARL!

EZEARL

Sure thing. Just googled Hurst for an ax15 just for the heck of it. Hurst does make GOOD stuff that's worth the price.

SirCyber

Yup, and it just went into by build list.

As long as you have Ax 15 and not Ba/10 Tranny.

SirCyber

Mines a 1990 so yes has the ax15

I had one of those on my last XJ and loved it. Will be getting another one for my current XJ. Just be warned, it makes it a bit on the notchy side when shifting since it is a short shifter.

SirCyber

Thanks for the input!

I found that shifter about a week after I got my XJ. still havent pulled the trigger on it yet

97+ Longer Reach Shifter

Being 6'3" I have my seat back beyond stock so it was always a awkward reach forward to change gear with the stock shifter. To save fuel and wear and tear on the auto I always shift into neutral when waiting at the lights.

Fail. While it might save a tiny bit of gas, there is no wear on the trans while stopped in gear and is wear when shifting it.
