aftermarket shifter

Has anyone used a hurst,or a b&m automatic shifter their xj I would like to try to make one work if it's doable.

What year is your XJ? Do you know which trans you have?

The AW4 automatic isn't controlled like the old-skool Toruqe Flites and GM Hydromatics, and as such there isn't a B&M or Hurst setup for it. There's a vendor on here who makes an AW4 shifter setup thats pretty cool that allows for manual shifting.

If you have an earlier Jeep (pre-4.0L) I believe it has an AMC Cased Torqueflite, and as such an aftermarket shifter for that particular Chrysler trans SHOULD work.. I'll let someone else give the definate answer on that though.

why? your current shifter is a similar style, i can rifle from forward to nuetral to reverse without even thinkin about it

x2 check out the manual shifter other than that leave it no need

i have a hurst short throw shiter in my 93 but its a 5spd so that prolly wont help you much

How do you like your short shifter with the manual trany? I have been thinking of doing it to my '96.

Thanks,
