Savvy Transfer Case Cable Shifter Kit for the 231 compatible with Wrangler TJ/LJ 1997-2006

Awesome product@ total replacement of oem linkage to a much better system. Easy installation about one hour. Drop pan to make it easy.

While it did not come with instructions, you can find them online and plenty of YouTube videos to learn from. The Jeep we bought had been lifted which stock linkage is not designed to handle and broke first time we tried it. This cable shifter is the smooth fix. I am no pro and got it in with the biggest frustration being getting the old parts off. The trick in shifting is to feel the click as I have not had time to find the adjustment needed to correct the length of the shifter run space versus the actual shift point which initially created a scary grinding WTF moment second time out after install. You can do it. Make sure you support your transmission while removing parts.

Top notch quality, perfect fit

VERY painful install, mentally prepare for hell on a rusty TJ, but overall worth it. I took off the 4wd handle from the top to access the top bolt - highly recommend you do this. I didnt have to remove the skid plate because of this. My 4wd lever was seized solid so I had to free it up on the bench - careful not to bend your handle shaft - it will have you scratching your head later why its not working. I had to bend mine back to factory for it to work out. Mine still doesnt tilt left and right so I just shaved down the notch on the gate a little. Its fine.

Bought this for my Jeep to get rid of the clunky OEM linkage. It out performs the original linkage and is smooth to operate. I did have to make some slight modifications as it was not an exact fit for my application but I am happy with the results.

Great upgrade from the stock shift linkage. Shifting into 4WD is smooth with very good tactile feedback that you're definitely engaged in each mode. The old linkage I removed had semi-seized bushings/joints that was making it a fight 1 out of 4 times I was trying to shift into 4WD and back.Install was straightforward. Mine didn't have instructions in the box but was able to e-mail them for a copy. You can follow the install instructions from the Novak cable and it's basically the same, this one does NOT have rubber bushings for the bracket on the tub and it's not supposed to. There's also good YouTube videos (BleepinJeep has a very clear install) that show how everything goes together.You don't "have" to drop your skid plate to do this install but it makes it much easier. You can also detach your driveshaft to give yourself more space if you want. I dropped the plate but left the driveshaft in.As far as adjustments go, I left the nuts in the middle of each attachment point and haven't had to adjust it. I'm still at stock height but I can tell this is going to work great no matter what I may lift it to since it's a cable and not a geometric linkage/joints.

It would be nice to have an assembly drawing or something in the box but this is a fantastic replacement for the stock linkage! 1000x better than stock! Watch someone’s YouTube video on how to install it

I bought this on Dec 3, 2023, I dislocated my ankle and broke my fibula last winter. So I was not physically able to install this. I am finally up and on my feet, and I open the box to install and I see paint chips all over the place. Its not shipping damage, its a bad paint job. I will have to repaint it, and I might as well do the other bracket while I am at it. Not the best quality in finishing, hoping it lives up to my expectations. I will update after the paint dries and I have the time to install this.Update.Painted the bracket that mounts to the body. Installation was easy once I got the old bracket off the transmission. That was a challenge since the top bolt is in a really hard spot to get a wrench in. I did the lower bolt then used a large pry bar to move the bracket out of the way by bending and twisting it. This will make more sense when you’re doing this. I put everything in to 2wd and adjusted the cable to this. I can now go in to 4Lo however it’s not as smooth as others stated. In my last pic you can see how the angle is way off causing the cable to go at an angle. I emailed [email protected]. No one replied. I put a large crescent wrench on the bracket and tried to change the angle. It helped slightly enough where I’m okay with it. Sad Savvy doesn’t offer support for customers.Overall it’s an ok solution. The adjusting can be daunting but just set it to 2wd and adjust the ends to where things line up. It’s a good starting point. Took one star away for poor paint quality, took one star away for poor / nonexistent customer supper.
