Perfect fit and operation, lubrication was light but adequate
Excellent quality part, the 1953 original had no plastic sheath like the new one. For period correct accuracy it might have been possible to strip off the outer layer.
The rubber bushing for the remote shift, took care of all of my shifting problems. I could not easily shift into second gear. After 5 minutes of getting the old bushing out and the new one in, I'm happy to say, have my Jeeps turn now shifts flawlessly.
It said it fit 72-78 model years. Mine is an 81’ and it looked right in the photo but was physically longer. Not a huge deal and I was able to return them. Great customer service and all of the other parts I purchased worked great.
The cable housing end that fits into the backing plate has spring clips and washers on it and for this application they are not needed. The forward end of the cable mounts into brackets on the frame, and these needed to be moved rearward to fit. But this Jeep is a mismash of parts so I cant be sure if they were correct or not from the factory. I made it work. The cable from the handle to the crossmember fit great on both ends. A simple I sheet would have helped.
