Necroing this thread as it's one of the first search results. In my XJ that I swapped a 242 into I didn't have to do most of the above. I believe most of this is due to Novak updating their design. I did lengthen the cutout for the shift gate in the bottom part but not the top, I'm not sure it was necessary. I didn't have to cut the threaded rod or mess with the cable adjustment in the brackets. I adjusted the 2 ends of the cable a bit, but the real trick was moving the shift lever to it reduce the swing needed (Novaks new design has 4 overlapping circles so I didn't have to drill anything). Thanks for this thread for that last bit, now I can get into 4L reliably, or at least for the half dozen times I've tried in my driveway tonight.

Call me dense but I don't see any price? Anymore picks?

It'll be interesting to see what it is when I finally get over to get the VIN lol. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, its interesting to guess about.

Ah, I didn't realize the vin was there or I would have.

It is a 5 spd and 2wd. I fear the puke goat :(.

Thanks fiat.

Mirrors* :) I'd love for it to be a 91+ and have the 4.0 and ax-15.

Yeah I didn't see any rust on it, it looks like it's from Florida. I'm hoping they'll let it go cheap for how long it's been sitting. When did they start using different mirrors?

So there's an MJ that I've seen sitting for a while and today I stopped and snapped some pics. While doing this a person who was watching the house stopped by and I got the owners number. Before I go ahead and call them I'd like to post the pics and see if you guys could maybe give me an idea what year it is or anything else you notice. The guys I talked to said it was a 2wd but said it sounded like it ran good. It has a 5 spd with the big gas gauge, that was all I could tell from the interior. It says sporttruck limited on the outside. Sorry for the super reflective pic, I think it's kind of cool how I got my jeep in it though. http://img812.imageshack.us/i/img0011jd.jpg/ http://img690.imageshack.us/i/img0008dd.jpg/ http://img530.imageshack.us/i/img0009eq.jpg/ http://img185.imageshack.us/i/img0010xn.jpg/

Yeah it didn't work out. Desperately needs break work and a new exhaust system. Though what hes asking is completely reasonable for the work required. Someone should pick this up before he scraps them both. http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/1320315722.html

I called about that one, its just an auto and I'm looking for a stick. For the price hes asking and the work it sounds like it needs its not that bad.

The price really can't be beaten imo, from the pictures it seems like its in pretty good shape rust wise. To test the tranny it should go into each gear smoothly and the clutch should catch near the floor right? (The most driving I've done stick wise is on an XJ with 300k miles with original drivetrain so my views on a "good" clutch may be slightly skewed. :D )

Tomorrow morning I'm going to look at an 88 MJ that has 130k miles. It's 4.0 and 5spd, so it should have the Peugeot BA 10/5 right? What are some things I should be looking for?
