fiatslug87 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Which linkage would you recommend? The Boostwerks or Novak cable linkage? I know Novak is more expensive, that's not an issue. Which is easier to install and adjust? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My Boostwerks works flawlessly at a fraction of the cost of the Novak. I, like most, will have installed one or the other but not both. The Boostwerks install is simple and the adjustment process is easy. If you can comprehend the workings of a turnbuckle you have it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I just installed a Boostworks linkage in my buddy's XJ and there is not other way I would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldseddie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I personally like the factory linkage as it works and seals out the stuff that eats our floorboards. I don't want to replace them ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The boostwerks seals the same as factory as you are only replacing the adjustment linkage and the tcase side range lever. All external and sealed just as stock. Trust me, it is the only real logical choice ... Can't believe it took so long for it to become a common place kit.

Gjeep Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm running the Novak kit. Apparently I was the first MJ to install the kit. A bracket on the other side of the trans tunnel wasn't shaped right for the MJ. "Ears" of the bracket were off. They sent me two correctly shaped brackets based on my feedback and life was good. Apparently if you specify you've got an MJ you'll get the right bracket now. It wasn't a quick install but it is a quality kit. Smooth shifting and no issues. I'll be running it on my '89 as well.
