JK Auto Transmission Cable Shifter Upgrade Kit

SK5X

Note: JK Wranglers have two automatic transmission shifter cable bushings — one at the shifter handle inside the cabin, and one at the transmission lever underneath the vehicle. This kit services the transmission-side bushing only (underside of the vehicle). We do not currently offer a solution for the interior shifter-side bushing.

The Jeep JK transmission cable shifter works well from the factory. But with time, use, and corrosion, the stock cable bushing will deteriorate and eventually fail. This kit replaces the plastic bushing with a durable brass alternative.

Included with the kit are two brass split bushings, step bushing, and retaining rings (an extra provided for backup in case one goes flying on installation).

Installation time is approximately 30 minutes.
