Notes:

The stock Jeep linkage uses plastic heim joints and a light duty shifter cable. The shifting of this transfer case and
stock linkage puts wear and tear on these shifter components and eventually will wear them out. Our new cable
upgrade keeps all the stock interior look and provides a positive shifting assembly that will provide a great addition
to your Jeep JK.

This kit replaces the stock Jeep cable assembly with a heavy duty push/pull cable equipped with quality steel heim
joints providing you a reliable linkage assembly.

JKCABLE SHIFT LINKAGE UPGRADE KIT

The installation will require the disassembly of the console for 2007 to 2010 JK's. There are 4 bolts that hold the
console in place; two of the bolts require the seats to be adjusted forward.

2011 & Up console removal: Pull the shifter knob straight up and off. The console is snap clipped into the lower con­sole housing and the top portion just needs to be removed for the shifter installation

The stock transfer case shift knob must also be removed to remove the console. This knob is removed by pulling

upward on the knob (it is a tight t).

Once the console is removed, you can unbolt the transfer case shifter from the oorboard and disconnect the stock

cable from the shifter assembly. The stock cable extends forward and then into a access hole that goes along side
the drivetrain.

Once the cable is along side
the transmission, it gets routed
back to a bracket that supports
the cable, and then the cable
connects to the transfer case
shifter lever. The upgrade kit
will require that the cable is
removed. The stock cable sup­port bracket is re-used.

New cable routed along the transmission JK's 2007-11.

JKCABLE SHIFT LINKAGE UPGRADE KIT

The shifter kits comes with a new shifter lever for the transfer case. The lever
must be installed to achieve the proper throw on the linkage. Unfortunately,
the NP241 Rocktrac transfer case design does not allow you access to the #40
torx bit without removing the transfer case front yoke (NP241 with the 2:72:1

low does not require the yoke to be removed). This also means you have to

remove the front driveshaft at the transfer case. Once the yoke is removed
and the lever bolt is removed, install the new lever on the transfer case with

the supplied 8mm bolt and 1/4" at washer.

The new cable can now start to

be installed. First, the (2) 5/8"
at washers must be installed between the large nuts on the cable as

shown. Next, equip the new cable with a heim joint and tighten the
jam nut. Slide the cable into the stock bracket with a nut and washer
on each side of the bracket. You can now install the cable up through

the hole in the oorboard and into the

cab. NOTE: If you desire to retain the

stock oorboard rubber grommets (and
it is recommended) that were used on

the factory cable, then you must cut
the stock cable in half and remove the
grommet and then install it onto the
new cable before feeding it through the

oorboard.

Cable adjustment to transfer case:

NP241 Rocktrac transfer cases the heim is bolted to the out­side of the shift lever with the 1/4"-20 x 1" bolt and lock nut.
On the non-Rubicon NP241, the heim joint
bolts to the outside of the shift lever
with the addition of the 1/2" spacer
between the heim joint and the T/C
lever. Use the 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" bolt
and lock nut.

Adjust the linkage so that the heim joint travels approximately
1/8" past the lever in 2 high and 4 low.

On the Rubicon applications, reinstall the transfer case yoke.
We recommend the use of black RTV silicone to the splines

of the yoke (about a 1/4" bead) to prevent leakage. Install

Shifter Modications: The shifter assembly needs to be disassembled to install the new stronger shifter com-
ponents. The plastic shifter cover is removed by slipping a straight screw driver under its edge and lifting gently.
The shift handle pivot pin can be removed by tapping the pin several times with a small hammer or mallet.

After the pivot pin is removed, you should be able to
remove the handle assembly. The handle has a pivot
pin that also must be pressed out. Be careful not to
loose the spring and bushing when pulling the plastic
assembly from the handle. We found that a 7/16"

-1/4" drive socket works great to press the handle pin
from the handle.

Slip the aluminum housing on to the JK handle and reinstall the pin that was just removed. Be sure that the upper
handle leans back towards the 1/2" hole in the aluminum housing.

Install the stock spring and spring bushing from the old assembly into the new (gold bracket) and mount to the
aluminum housing using the supplied 1/4"-20 x 5/8" button head bolts.

Reinstall the handle assembly back into the shifter housing and reinstall the stock pivot pin and clip. Loosely bolt
the new cable mounting bracket to the stock shifter housing using the 1/4"-20 x 3/4" S.H.S.C. Align the back edge
of the bracket with the shifter housing so they are parallel. Tighten the bracket to the housing. Drill two 1/4" holes

using the bracket as a template. Secure the bracket with the other two bolts.
