dante2 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 For those that have done the conversion what shifters did you use for 4wd and trans shifter? I stripped a 94? XJ of it's shifter parts but only a couple of holes on the trans cover plate line up. The 4wd shifter cup is hitting the body before any of the holes line up. Should I be looking for some older parts or do I need to do some cutting? Also can someone with a floor shift auto trans get a pic of where you made a hole for the cable? Thank you for your help.

omega_rugal Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 there must be holes for the shifter you can uncover, is an MJ? all Mjs XJs have the holes for the 4wd shifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddFoot Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I just swapped my MJ to a 95 xj parts and the holes lined up for the most part. They are not all perfect the factory put them in I just made it straight and used self tapers.the 4wd shifter is kinda a pain you have to overlap the floor shifter plate a little Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante2 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Muddfoot are you running a floor shift for the trans? Did you drill a hole for the cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddFoot Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I used a multi bit for the hole. I also had the motor and transmission out Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante2 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well yeah that would help a ton. Looks like I will have to go the PITA route with the engine still in it. Where about did you put the hole in the firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
