Jeep Driver Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I want to get rid of the mini console and boot this shifter to the floor. Then- I want to use this knob on this- And boot the TC to the floor. Has anyone done this and if so how did you make the two boots work out in such a close area? Thanks
outlaw star Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Just ordered the same shifter. We shall see if it's any good or not.
Jeep Driver Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Please let us know how well it works. Thanks
yxmj Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Start doing some seaching on the internet and the JY.....Your answer will require some input from the good old YJ......that is the set up it had Here is a combined boot Mine has seperate.....Like this....(not my YJ just a generic pic) You can also get the combined boot in leather
benjy_26 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 That Siamese boot looks ILL in leather! Must have, if yoj ask me...
Jeep Driver Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Got mine a couple days ago :) Image Not Found I'll be ordering the short stick and TC ball in a couple of weeks.
yellaheep Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I've got a 1st gen Hurst shifter in my '91 currently........ love it. But, the future plans for my '91 are to go automatic and use the RADesign Rock Shift and Rail shifter I bought years ago. So, if I don't put the 1st Gen Hurst into my raceTruck I want to get the longer handled Core shifter - perhaps for a YJ or TJ - so that the shifter is closer to me in the cab when I'm all strapped in. Currently looks like this: Want it closer like this: And being that I'm looking to leave the raceTruck 4x4 with a 242, those rubber double boots look like just the thing I'd need......... :thumbsup:
Blue XJ Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I like your idea for the t-case. Can that handle be adapted to work with the stock 231 handle?
TheDude Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 How much better is it shifting the trans with that shifter?
Jeep Driver Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 All I can say is- Wow! Shifts great! New boots and carpet on the way. Crappy night pics- Image Not Found
TheDude Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 All I can say is- Wow! Shifts great! New boots and carpet on the way. Crappy night pics- Image Not Found Stop tempting me dammit! lol How hard is the install on one of these? I've never had to mess with a shifter before.
Gjeep Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 What is the hurst part number for that transfer case shifter? Any idea if it will work with the factory console?
Blue XJ Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 What is the hurst part number for that transfer case shifter? Any idea if it will work with the factory console?X2, what did it take to get it to work? Edit: I went ahead and ordered it, not the cheapest for a tcase shifter, but I figured I have welder, I can get it to work one way or another.
Jeep Driver Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 I'm using two separate boots and I'm making my own single trim that will connect the two boots. That's my plan anyway. core-shifters Items 1 NV231 transfer case shifter shift knob BLACK 1987-1995 YJ Jeep Wrangler 3/8"-16 @ $25.19 = $25.19 1 Hurst Chrome Short Shifter Stick 5387201 w/ hardware & boot support grommet @ $46.69 = $46.69Sub-Total: $71.88 Email Chris at Coreshifters and ask him to send you the Hurst stick PDF. That short stick will not work with the console. If you want to modify one to work you'll need a longer one and go deeper into the mechanism and weld it up. I did not care as mine will be covered by the boot. The stick vs the OE shifter- Feels much better than lifting and pulling up and back.....stick feels correct. Now that I've spent the day driving with the Core/Hurst.......could not imagine going back, no way.
Blue XJ Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I ordered the same stick for the tcase that you did, ordered last night at 7:30 and already have a tracking number. I have the newer style console in mine, its a bit flatter in that area, I think I can make it work. Cut the old one off where it becomes vertical and weld this one on.
Jeep Driver Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 The two boots came today, the smaller will not work with the TC shifter. Back to the drawing board. Going with homemade leather boots.......if I can get the wife to sew.
A-man930 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 How much are you guy's paying for those core shifters?
dscowell Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Good stuff! Looks real slick. How was the installation?
Blue XJ Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Not to steal your thread, but I got my tcase handle installed. I cut the old one off amd welded the new one on. It was pretty straight forward. I angled the edges on the new one to have a smooth transition to the old one. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
Jeep Driver Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Nice job. I sold my mini console the other day, now I'm truly obligated to working this out. I need to get some Naugahyde.
TheDude Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Since it heated up from 3 degrees yesterday to 35 degrees today, I finally got mine installed! It feels almost too tight (in a good way) I can't wait to test drive it tomorrow. Before: After:
xjrev10 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Installed one of these on the nv3550 in my MJ today. Worth EVERY FRICKEN PENNY. (so are the Novak cable t-case shifters)
outlaw star Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Damn, can't wait to put mine on now. Just waiting to do my trans swap first.
