'84(?) Column Shift Indicator into '88

[NewKindOfClown]

Hello, all. I'm new to CC. I spend most of my time on CherokeeForum since I drove an XJ til last month. Anyway, here's my question:

 

My column shift indicator doesn't work on my '88. I tried to do a full gauge swap to get rid of my idiot lights, but I pulled the cluster from a non-column shifted MJ. The other day, I found this beauty at a local junkyard. I'm guessing it's an '84 with a Peugeot? Could it be mated to my '88 with an AW4? If so, what would that entail?

 

 

Here's the truck:

:cheers: :thumbsup: Personally, I'm not sure. However I know that ididit.com has some that works. I believe that another member named hornbrod has one on his. Good luck.

I don't see any photo or link, but ...

 

An '84 could not have a Peugeot tranny, because that was introduced in the 1987 model year with the 4.0L engine. And the Peugeot was a 5-speed manual, so it would not have had a column shift indicator anyway. The auto tranny in the '84 XJ was a Chrysler 3-speed, so the shift indicator won't have any provision for overdrive.

Eagle, I think that's what I meant. Still learning the MJ rules. My XJ was an '01, so all this Renix-and-older stuff is new to me.

The gear indicator is on the column instead of on the cluster. Shifter shows Park, Reverse, N, D, 2, 1

Could that be made to work with my later model? My indicator is in the gauge cluster.

Are others seeing the images? I just want to make sure they work since it's my first post.
