B&M 45195 Manual Transmission Shifter Lever Kit, 1 Pack, Blue

I don't know, how I was driving / shifting before. So nice and accurat!

Only fitted it yesterday 29/12/22 But it's made a big difference already So fingers crossed it's done the job (Jeep wrangler jk 2009)

2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X with 6 speed manual annd 127k miles, occasionally Popped Out of Gear (POG) in 1st. Forums recommended this B&M shifter to fix the sloppy POG issue with the old OEM shifter. The transmission otherwise shifted fine as normal. I ordered it, fast delivery, pretty straight forward installation, good detailed instructions… Best of all, it solved the sloppy gear shift and POG problem. Shifter gave me a crisp, smooth & tight shift in all 6 gears and reverse. No more popping out of 1st. Totally delighted with the quality and solution to my problem. Price was higher than I wanted, but it fixed the problem so I consider it great value for the money.

For the price that an Australian customer would pay, I expected an install and forget experience. Similar experience to a previous review by Bentley on 15/mar/22. This shifter was installed twice. The first time using the supplied rubber gasket, subsequent install using oil jointing gasket paper to eliminate a potential transmission fluid leak source. It turns out it wasn't that the supplied rubber gasket ruptured, but the quality and tensioning of the crimp ring on the shifters boot. This caused leaking on the left side of the shifter and tracking along the boot. A common theme in photos is an inadequate crimp on the ear clamp. Unfortunately, once I discovered this defficiency, it was too late for the returns process and didn't like my chances of getting any product support based on Bentleys experience. The fix? a 78-102mm hose clamp and a bead of gasket silicone on the internal wall of the boot. Be forewarned: I would recommend going through the returns process as this will almost certainly void your warranty. My advice to future installers is to test drive your jeep before re-installing the centre console, and monitor for signs of transmission fluid prior to buttoning the lot up. On the plus side, still breaking in the shifter, sometimes a little stiff to get out of 3rd into 2nd or vise-versa. The shifter, even w/o the b&m shift stick offers a *very* positive engagement into gear.

Facile à installer, travail très bien 🤙💥

Fixed my issue of the trans popping out 1st and 3rd gear. Some of the reviews say it isn’t as smooth as the stock shifter; in my option the stock shifter is loose and sloppy. This B&M shifter provides crisp positive shifting the that stock shifter lacked.
