B&M or Hurst shifters for AX-15 work on AX-5?
« on: May 24, 2011, 07:59:01 AM »
Have been looking around for some clues on this.  Looks like B&M maybe used to make an AX-5 version and I think I saw something by Hurst on Ebay that was advertised for the 4Banger.   Do the models by B&M and Hurst for the AX15 work on the AX5 maybe?

According to some advance adapters instructions, the AX-5 shifter can be adapted to the AX-15 but the bolt holes have to be modified.  So it won't be bolt on but don't know if it can be made to work.

I've thought about adding a Hurst.  Hurst no longer makes a AX-5 shifter.  You will have to modify a AX-15 to work.  It's not hard unless you don't have the tools.  The base plate needs to be disassembled and turned around.  Then two of the holes need to be elongated.

B&M makes a AX5 shifter which is a little cheaper then the Hurst but I like teh Hurst more.

The usual reasons, particularly shorter shift throw.  Don't "have" to have it -- nothing wrong with my shifter now.

that's why I was asking, usually you do the short shift throw so you decrease the shift times, hard to assume that's what our Jeeps are missing :lol:

don't get me wrong, if money are not an issue then yeah, it's nice to have, but i think you could spend it on something more useful.

Shorter shifts are nice especially if you spend a lot of time on the road.

I would consider one for a body lift. would help if you had to extension the sifter making it closer to stock throw again.

I thought a bit of time between gears is easier on the synco's?  :confused:

Using tools you have not used in a while is like shaking hands with old friends. :nod:

Only if you're lazy and don't know where your shift points are.
