JK Auto Transmission Cable Shifter Upgrade Kit

JK transmission shifter upgrade kit

#SK5X, Kit, automatic transmission shifter, JK cable bushing, clamp, fix

The Jeep JK transmission cable shifter works well from the factory. But with time, use, and corrosion, the stock cable bushings and retention clips deteriorate and eventually fail. This kit replaces the most common failure points of the transmission cable shifter.

Included with the kit are two brass split bushings, step bushing, clamp and retaining rings (an extra provided for backup).

Installation time is approximately 30 minutes.
