Hooking up the Linkages

Unlike the XJ and the TJ, the YJ doesn’t have a center console to house the transmission and transfer case shifters. In any event, the one thing I didn’t have on hand was the XJ shifter. It really didn’t make any difference because the guys here insisted that I go with an Art Carr gated shifter. Now, Art Carr doesn’t make a shifter specifically for the AW4 tranny. So I purchased a generic Art Carr six gate shifter. I probably could have found an XJ shifter at a junk yard for about one tenth the price, but I went with the Art Carr anyway. So much for me being cheap.

Below is the new mounting bracket for the transfer case shifter.

This is the new linkage for the transfer case.

Our engineer, Andy, had to design a new shifting arm for the transmission. He put all of the angles and dangles into AutoCad and came up with a shifting arm that integrated perfectly with the Art Carr six gate shifter.
