Firm up a sloppy shifter and help keep it from popping out of gear with the Dorman - OE Solutions Manual Transmission Shift Tower Kit 697-025. This Dorman OE FIX shift tower is a drop-in upgrade for the factory unit on 2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler models equipped with the NSG370 manual transmission, designed to tighten up shift feel and deliver predictably firm, positive shifts. Many Wranglers with the NSG370 experience the shifter popping out of gear, especially over rough terrain, and this redesign addresses the root cause of many of those failures.
Improved replacement: a drop-in upgrade for the OEM shift tower that helps prevent future issues with the shifter popping out of gear while improving shift feel.
More robust construction: built from bearing steel rather than the low-carbon stamped steel of the factory unit.
Reduced wear: specially hardened and coated tool steel in the detents helps resist wear.
Shorter throws: shift throws on the gear selector are reduced approximately 10 percent.
Complete kit: includes the shift tower, tower-to-case gasket and cabin gasket for a complete replacement of the critical components.
Designed to match the original fit and function required to repair the gear selector on certain TJ-era Wranglers with a manual transmission.
