• Shortcut to fulcrum chart

Shifter base for custom conversions using Aisin AX15 5 speed manual transmissions sourced from:

• 1989-1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) w/ 4.0L I6
• 1997-1999 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) w/ 4.0L I6
• 1989-1999 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) w/ 4.0L I6
• 1989-1992 Jeep Comanche (MJ) w/ 4.0L I6
• 1992-1999 Dodge Dakota w/ 3.9L V6
• 1993-1998 Dodge Dakota w/ 2.5L I4

• NOT FOR USE in these vehicles! See the complete kits - NO other stick is compatible
• 1989 models: confirm trans (mid-year change from BA-10/5 to AX15)
• Does NOT FIT older or newer models, or other engines during the stated years (different trans)

A Hurst stick is required (NOT included, sold separately). Other brands and homemade sticks are discouraged. Stick mount has 3/8"-24 threaded holes spaced 7/8" apart on center + mating serrations for a Hurst stick on one face. Due to larger mounting threads (3/8"-24), sticks that use 8mm mounting bolts (most OE, "non-TKO" Lokar, others) will not work. Lokar TKO sticks can be mounted but only to the smooth side of the stub. To select the proper parts:

• Wait until new transmission is installed to buy shifter parts
• Remove existing shifter base if present
• Sit in vehicle, in driving position, with all interior trim (dash, console, etc) in place
• Define desired knob location in space (neutral position):
• Measure height from base flange to desired knob location = overall height
• Measure side & rear offsets from receptacle bore to desired knob location
• See this diagram for clarification
• Study the Hurst stick page for shapes that meet your needs
• Allow 3-6" for stick mount height
• Choose a stick and see what fulcrum heights are compatible with it (see chart)
• Check overall height (see chart: stick height + mount height = overall height)
• Confirm chosen combination achieves desired knob location and that fulcrum height works with stick length selected
• Consider various stick & stub combinations to optimize
• Note long sticks on angled mounts will strongly offset knob to left (can be 5-6"+)
• Note OE dust boot is short and exposes stick mount which helps in tight situations

Stub fulcrum height options (critical to optimizing leverage for short throw):

• Stick length = point-to-point distance from mount hole to knob thread
• Stick mount height = distance from base flange to stick bolt hole (affects knob height)
• Fulcrum height = distance from lower ball to fulcrum pin; varies by option, not published
• Warning: Follow stick length guide to avoid excess effort & component failure
