The RubiCrawler’s shifting mechanism utilizes push/pull cable technology for a smooth and easy shift. The universal cable shifter is included with the purchase of your RubiCrawler. (The universal shifter should be used if your vehicle is equipped with an Atlas transfer case)
We also offer a twin stick cable shifter for the Jeeps. These kits are designed to fit the stock TJ and JK consoles.
The Jeep TJ's twin stick shifter replaces the standard hard linkage. We have designed a twin stick shifter that comes through the stock console for a clean installation that operates the RubiCrawler and the stock NP231 or NP241 transfer case.
The twin stick JK shifter also provides a twin stick shifter through the stock console. This kit retains the stock transfer case cable with the addition of the new RubiCrawler cable.
These shifters are an additional charge but are the best suited for most installations. (Note, if your vehicle does not have a stock transfer case, the universal shifter should be used.)
