deziped1 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 My 89 MJ gear selector snapped off at internal end in column. Will a 96 XJ shift selector handle work as a replacement? Got to make a JY search other wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The 96 xj isn't a column shift .it should be the column with the airbag in the steering wheel Your mj has a column shift right?so it won't work You can change the column and also make it a floor shift but you would need everything out of a pre 95 xj . It's probably easier to get a column or fix the one you've got IMO . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokermjcomanche Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Is that column out of a yj? Or did you swap the indicator / center section ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deziped1 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hornbrod -- There is nothing wrong with shift indicator. The problem is that the end of the gear selector lever is broken off (1/4" inch of it) where it slips into the upper end of the rod going down the column. It's a Chevy steering column in these MJ's and I think like 75 to 90+ will work. I pulled one this AM out of a 93 that worked but it was not shaped (& black - mines chrome) any where near like the MJ's. I'll snatch one out of a Beretta next time I.am in Eugene. I'm just using a screw driver in there now, but, it works. I recently tossed (couldn't find anyone needing one) in JY a column shift I pulled from an 86 V6 with 904 tranny that had the external gear position indicator, now I wished I had kept it. S--- happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ah, okay, understand. So you just need a new Saginaw column shift lever? There are plenty of aftermarket shift lever kits on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped1 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yup, that would fix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
