Update.
The B&M made it about 1hr of road test time before I went back to the shop and removed it.
After assembling the rest of the dash it will let you absolutely slam your fingers in the dash. About 1/4" of clearance. The indicator is extremely hard to see. It misses gears on the road. And it misses reverse regularly. I also Checked the adjustment over and over. It's also way too far away from your hand.
It has a major safety flaw, I was going to try and look past it, but. It has you remove the park safety cable. This let's the Jeep start in gear. It would be rare, but this could be very dangerous if your working on the Jeep, or not aware it will start in gear. Overall it had about 5 strikes against it very quickly.
I knew after a very short drive this is a no way for me. It's already on the way back for a return and my money back. What a waste of time. Not my first waste of time. Hopefully I can be the guinea pig on that one. And somebody will avoid it.
I think it may fail as a product, but it also fits XJ cheorkees, so the cherokee boys may love it. It is a POS IMO after a real trial. I have owned and installed several B&M shifters. They really are just racing parts. They tried, but I feel it's not TJ specific enough. If it didn't try to cover multiple rigs and was more carefully geared towards the TJ, maybe.
I am so glad I carefully removed my original shifter. Cause it went right back in.
So, if anybody is considering this shifter who reads this thread. I say no. I put the factory shifter, with the stock T-handle and the shorty 2 cup holder console in.
I made the Ebay return window with 1 day to spare on the shifter and extra cover plates.
All other parts are great transmission shifts great. Trans temp Guage is nice.
Les schwab balanced the tires correctly also.
