Tighten up a sloppy shifter and help keep it in gear with the Dorman - OE Solutions Manual Transmission Shift Tower Kit 697-024. This OE FIX unit drops in as a replacement for the 2005-2018 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK built with the NSG370 manual transmission, where the shifter can pop out of gear over rough terrain. It's designed to match the original shift tower's fit and function so it repairs the gear selector without modification.
Dorman's redesign uses more robust construction than the factory unit and helps deliver predictably firm, positive shifts.
Stronger material: built from bearing steel rather than the factory's low-carbon stamped steel.
Hardened detents: specially hardened and coated tool steel in the detents reduces wear.
Tighter action: shift throws at the gear selector are reduced approximately 10 percent for improved shift feel.
Complete kit: includes the shift tower, tower-to-case gasket, and cabin gasket for a full replacement of the critical components.
If a worn or failed shift tower is the cause of your vague, popping-out-of-gear shifter, this OE FIX addresses that root cause. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your application.
