Cali Cruse Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hello Comanche World! Owner of a 1991 Jeep Comanche Pioneer with a 5-speed manual here. I'm curious how come some Comanchees have a straight shifter and others have it angled. Is there a way to go from the angled to the straight kind? Thanks.

Eagle Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Are you talking about a 5-speed with a floor shift, or an automatic with a column shift? For 5-speeds, the only MJ I've ever seen with a straight(-ish) shifter is my '88, and it's because it has a tranny and shifter out of a Wrangler.

jerpderp Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 My guess was that BA-10/5 trannys and AX-15 trannys has different shift levers due to the different heights of the shifter housing. The original lever from my 87 has an extra bend to it than the lever I pulled from a 90 XJ. I used my original lever on my NV3550 conversion and the angle of the shift knob is kinda awkward. I think removal of the shift lever is different for later years, but I removed the shifter housing, put the lower section in a vise, and used a punch to knock the lever off. I believe newer shifters have threaded holes in the sides that pull the inner bushing out to relieve some tension and make the process easier.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
