Standard shift Automatic
I know this may sound weird but I want my Auto transmission to stay in the gear I put it in. As in not kick down. And it would be nice to be able to start out in second in low range.
Anyone know if this is possible? I won my first mud run to day. And I know I could shave quite a bit of time if I could start out in second gear. |

Exactly what I was wanting. Didn't know such a thing existed. |
yup.
i want to get one eventually but its not really high on the priority list right now, sooooo until then i will be letting the TCU shift |
So when you switch to this, do you have to change the way your converter locks up?
Does this thing replace the stock P-R-N-D setup? If so, where is park reverse and neutral on it? |

I guess a bracket or a box would need to be fabbed up too. Where do you think a good place would be? I can't think of a place that would be accessed easily and still look good. Where are you putting yours? |

ok, now that you say that, my question was a pretty dumb one.

Where are you putting yours? look further on the website, they make a smaller version of the shifter that more floor shift XJs use. with some searching you can find multiple threads on installs of both their shifters into XJs. I've seen them near the e brake handle as well as on the side of the center console. |
And this is why I have a AX-15 manual in my 97. I start in 3rd gear / 4LO and get all the torque I need.

Plus using a clutch on hairy trails is a lot of work, and can be quite scary on technical hills. |
I have the rad designs rail shifter. Works good my only complaint is it doesn't slide from gear to gear very smoothly.
If you have a newer xj it will throw a code but there are ways around that. |

Yeah I can later tonight or tomorrow I don't have one on my phone.
I do have a pic of how it's wires kind of. I used 2 dpdt switches (one 4pdt would work better). Both switches down is normal operation. Both switches up is manual shift control with the tcu being routed to the 2 clearance lights under the dash, which puts enough of a load on the tcu that it doesn't throw a code. Attachment 136910 When manually shifting at night you can see the glow from the lights shining on the floor as the turn on and off. Since they are both off in 4th gear it doesn't bother me. Also know that to hold it in 1st gear going down hill the factory shifter needs to be in 1-2 |
