JeepFanactic Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I am finishing up my AX-15 installation and I am missing the transfer case linkage. I looked into the Novak linkage but it is a little pricey. Has anyone used another linkage that worked. Has anyone used the 231 HD Shift Linkage (Manual Trans) - Boostwerks Engineering. The price is awesome compared to the Novak. What's the difference between the two? Thanks

Crash Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Novak is cable, and aftermarket shifter stick. Boostwerks uses a heim/allthread straight linkage direct from stock shifter to modified lever at the t-case. I'm going to go boostwerks on my MJ, when I do 4WD swap, and will at some point on my XJ. Minus the new t-case side lever, you could source allthread and heim joints local. But, for the price of the kit I think it's worth it.
Airborne Janitor Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I use a Novak linkage on my XJ with an NP241OR swapped in. Takes some dialing in initially, but haven't touched it since. Yes, it is pricey. Yes, it works. I have no first hand experience with this one (heard good things), but I'll probably put one in my MJ when it's time... http://www.azzysdesignworks.com/store/jeep-np231-transfer-case-linkage-kit

BTW where are you in VA? I just moved from Richmond and there are 3 pick-n-pulls and quite a few traditional yards that I've had good luck with.

Siopposition Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I'm another advocate for boostwerks. Works great and I've used both novac and boostwerks. Still takes some adjusting. But once set never had an issue Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
87MJTIM Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Some people have taken the older linkage and flipped over. You can search for that on here (and other Jeep forums) to check how it worked out.
Jess Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I flipped my Peugeot bracket when I swapped to the AX15. It took a little dialing but it works.
WyoCherokee Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I used the boostwerks linkage on my AW4. worked great. now ordering the AX-15 version.
xjrev10 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Love my NoVak shifter but Dirt Bound Off-road makes one that's identical for half the price.
