Anyone know of a good manual shifter that fits nicely in the Eagle?  The xj one does a good job but I can't find a decent one.

Would rather buy a cheap aftermarket for my np242 that a 3rd busted pos used one.

Been looking for the same thing, Novak has the shifter but it is not cheap.

Yeah...you're paying $$$ for their design not for the item. I've seen it, although it's well made it is vastly overpriced.

One could probably be rigged up with the right type of wire and lever. 1 lever to put into 4x4 modes down to 4lo, another to put it back

Look at Grand Wagoneer floor shifters (under driver's seat) That's what I'm going with or a PTO cable operated from under the dash. I HATE the XJ/MJ design that's in my Comanche. My knee rests on it when driving and I ache afterwards.

I also dislike losing the valuable floor real estate so I have a column shift automatic.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

I liked novaks solid linkage shifter better than the cable. I think im going to build a solid linkage shifter from scratch with the shifter mounted directly to the tranny rather than the floor.
