ComancheKid45 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I never thought such a simple part could cause so much headache... Has anyone replaced their shift cable with any of the available aftermarket options and actually had a successful result? I've installed 3 all from different manufacturers, 2 had to be modified to fit in the steering column bracket (pioneer fit great there), but all 3 had the clips fail on the adjustment assembly leaving me unable to access "3"and "2-1"... I'm at wits end with these things, $80ish a piece and all 3 have been garbage. Anyway does anyone have any suggestions on a possible alternative or even an OEM cable lying around for a column shift MJ. Just extremely frustrated...

How are you adjusting the shift cables to have three of them break? I've never replaced one yet, but have adjusted my existing cable with no problems.

Minuit Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I think he's talking about a floor shift XJ cable. Bet it'll be too short, the floor shift cable comes out at the base of the trans tunnel and the column shift cable comes out at the top D/S firewall.

The column shift cable is ~57" long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddFoot Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I might have one I just did a 95 swap on an 87. I can't look till next week if this hurricane doesn't take me outSent from my Z981 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Adjusting is no sweat, the problem is the mount not being wide enough to click underneath the column and the adjuster clip at the trans not holding adjustment after it's set. The omix ada cable is just a rebadged ATP also.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Thanks, I believe I finally found one out of another MJ, fingers crossed I can move on after it's installed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
