i won this from Rory @ RADesigns awhile ago, now that i have installed it. i dont know why i waited so long... this thing is so cool. i drove around all day for no reason just to shift it!! it was really fun.
so here goes the install
this is the way i installed the RAD shifter in my RENIX cherokee
this in my rail shifter (its the older version)
this is the same as the new ones, three wires
i wanted to keep my auto and use the shifter, so i went to napa to get 2 switches. (i could have got them from Rory, but i woke up today and wanted to get it done)
this TG6261 is a ON-ON 3 post (no off, theres no need)
the wires i will be talking about. black w/ white line, blue w/ white, purple w/ white i got from the TCU wiring which i will go over as we get there
for the TC lock up. 12v power wire to one side (to a key on power), center wire to the trans (black wire with white line), other side is from the TCU (the other end of the black wire w/white line)
this way the ON-ON switch will be in auto lock (controlled by the TCU) or locked (12v power)
this TG6064 is a double throw ON-ON 6 pole switch (no need for OFF)
the 2 poles on one side come from the shifter blue and yellow, the 2 in the middle are to the trans blue w/white and purple w/white wires, the last 2 poles are from the TCU blue w/white and purple w/white
keep the same color wires of the same left and right side of the switch
for me
left side: blue (from the shifter)on one end , blue w/white (in the middle) to the trans, blue w/white (on the other side) from the TCU
right side: yellow (from the shifter)on one end , purple w/white (in the middle) to the trans, purple w/white (on the other side) from the TCU
this way the switch will be ether auto or manual ( this is why you dont get a on-off-on switch)
i cut the 3 wires (blue w/white,purple w/white, black w/white)
you need all 6 ( 4 to the 6pole switch, 2 to the 3 pole)
all clean
after you find a key on 12V to use ( i used an open port on my fuse panel with an inline fuse 10amp is what im using) to run to the TC lock up (3pole switch) and to the Red wire on the rail shifter ( i ran one wire to the switch then piggy backed to the rail shifter) your done. just find a good place to put it all.
i installed my shifter in the park brake area so i would not have to lean forward to shift. the 2 switches by the factory shifter are shifter on-off and TC lock on-off
the TC lock up is cool. locking the TC at 40MPH is so nice i cat wait t see what kind of MPG i can make my jeep get!
Rory has such good customer service, i called and talked to him 3 time on a Sunday. how meany aftermarket manufactures can you call and talk to on a Sunday?? i have not found any others yet...
i cant wait to take it out this weekend and hold 1st in low with my 4:1 in 2low
i hear 2nd gear starts are cool!!
Thank you Rory,
supporter!
