its in write up. :D

i never liked the linkage in my cherokee or mj. a couple weeks ago i saw bs or bk writeup. after looking at his pics and my linkage, i realized it would work if i modified his idea. a couple of pics of my linkage. after taking off all the linkage, this is what it looks like. also in the bottom left corner is my new linkage. this pic shows the space with the complete linkage removed. the reason i changed the size of his linkage is because of the room where it goes. i also i thought i could make it smaller so it would fit closer to the transfer case and away from the driveshaft. i bought hardened 1/4/28 atr x 3' allthread, two nuts and two 1/4 " yoke ends, two clevis pins, and two hairpin cotters the total cost for these items, $14.87. :banana: the first one i cut worked, but reefing on it i later noticed i bent it. also i added a 1/4 " to it. this way it would go through the threads into the u of the yoke. also in this picture you can see the measurement from hole to hole on the yokes. this is a picture of where the shifter handle goes through the transmission tunnel. at the end is the lever that attaches to the linkage. the pin is held by a snap ring. . these are three levers i got at the jy. i got my levers from 80's or 90's chev products. i couldn't find the lever bk noted, but i found a short and longer one. after looking at my setup i thought i could use the shorter one. i think the hole is 7/16, so out with the welder. i put a bolt that just fit, welded it up, then out with the grinder. you can see in the pic the levers are mostly flat. this is a pic of the lever from the shifter, the shorter one i ended up using and the old lever. the reason you can't use your old one, the lever needs to point up. like this pic. at this point i have drilled 17/32 holes, one up from 1/4, off center, as noted in picture. this next pic shows the holes better. plus i have the shift lever mechanism pit together. . another picture of the shift linkage.this pic shows the new linkage and the shifter lever completely installed. if you notice the two levers are not in line. rain was coming so i thought i would finish the pic. after it drys up, i will remove the transfer case lever, heat it up and bend it to line up. quench it of course. if i need to readjust the linkage i will do it. but it works fine now, however, for long term usage it would work better lined up. i just bent it. it will be more in line now.Image Not Found. i just installed the bent linkage. either i bent it to far or i shouldn't of bent it. so, i'm going to straighten it and call it good. as bkf did, i would get one longer than you need and cut out the hole and redrill your new hole. someday when i go back to the worlds most expensive jy, i will look for one. until then :waving: two pics of the shift lever with the transmission shifter. i cut the shifter lever just after the bend so i could use my own knob. the shifter knobs are made from zebra wood from africa. a friend of mine thats retired makes them. a not so shameless plug. if you would like him to made you a knob,[ he's reasonable], his email is frontyardforest@epud.net and his name is mark. a pic of the shifter knob from my cherokee transmission. if someone bought my brand new, cut to fit carpet from my mj, for $45.00, i would include the shifter knob. i'm going with stuff from second skin audio for the floor. this item is very hard to store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't drive the mj until my knee heals more, but with all the shifting i did with the lever it works great. took the mj 4wheeling today . the linkage worked great the lever moved about 1/16in. no biggie

will start the photos today :cheers:

i have went to bs site to see what he did to uncomplicate the linkage. after looking at what he did i changed it some. is there interest for me to photo and explain what i did? dave

i have an hvlp . have painted a few of my vehicles. depending on paint used, $250.00 to$700.00 i am going to paint my mj in the future, will have exact cost.

this is a pic of a conversion to ax15. the mount that is.Image Not Foundi went with a urethane mount. i had to drop the transfer case. i also have urethane motor mounis can't decide wheither i like it. :chillin:

:banana: smiles are good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my wife and i am praying for a quick recovery. keep the faith; GOD cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm going to sell this hose in the classified section. however, i don't know the name. the best the dealer could say is vacuum hose? anybody know? :bowdown:

when possible dealer electronic parts. other ones depend on what the part is. :clapping: :wavey: for plug wires i use magnacor. i buy from apex performance. prices are great nobody can beat these wires

wore my hoody today. the girls couldn't keep there hands off of me. o :banana: yah

got my hoody today. excellent job. thanks good packing in that small box. :clapping: :rotf:

thanks for all your help. it looks like min voltage should be 11vs. this is the same as my bmw. :cheers:

we did and it failed

from owning a 635bmw for fourteen years, one of the problems i had turned out to be my battery was supplying a voltage that was under the min required for the computer. replaced battery on advice of my mechanic, end of drivability problems. i have drivability problems with my mj, we checked the battery, and it wouldn't charge correctly. i am replacing the battery next week. so, i'm wondering if the batterys voltage was below the min required for the computer to operate correctly. the proof will be when i change the battery and drive it. :yes: hoping :banana:

5.0 volts is ideal, mine is 4.87. if you have 5.0 volts the other voltage should be .08 volts. or 16% of your higher voltage. gave me fits until i set the difference to 16% percent. :thumbsup:

anyone know the minimum voltage a battery must have for the computer to operate correctly? this is a renix engine. thanks :wall:

got the email.thanks will wear with priDe :clapping:

everytime i try a short cut, or i'm tired, and want to finish, it comes back to bite me i've learned the hard way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

man, reading these posts :headpop: i not in the market for a new pick up. my mj works fine. but paying big money for some truck with these issues would get me going. i don't need any more anger problems. i'll fight over a penny. :popcorn:

:D just sent him a email to find out how to reorder. thanks brent!

after reading different posts on the site about precisionautoinjectors i decided to buy a set. i paid $115.00 an change through paypal. not my favorite company. after waiting three weeks without an order email from precision, i sent an email asking them to reply. after a week without a reply, i sent another one. a few days later without receiving a reply, i sent another one. still no reply. i contacted my credit union and told them what was happening. they have canceled my payment and credited my visa card. i'm glad it wasn't my debit card. if i receive an email from them, or the injectors, i will deal with it accordingly. so be forwarned. its a great product and i am disappointed with these results.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. i didn't need to see the bodybuilder
