Product Details

If you're dealing with a sloppy or loose shifter in your 1984-1999 Jeep Cherokee, especially one with an AX4, AX5, or AX15 manual transmission, a worn shifter bushing is often the culprit. This replacement bushing from Omix sits at the base of your shifter lever, and when it degrades, it can cause all sorts of play and imprecise shifts.

Omix makes this bushing to OE specifications, so it fits right and functions just like the original. It's made from durable black rubber, designed to handle the constant movement and stress of shifting gears. Replacing this small part can make a notable difference in how connected you feel to your transmission, making those gear changes feel more solid and direct again.

This is a straightforward replacement part. If you're already tackling other drivetrain maintenance, it's a good idea to check the condition of your shifter bushings. For a complete seal, consider pairing it with a new shifter retainer gasket if yours is also showing signs of wear.
