10. Atlas T/C shifters

We have designed several different shifters to fit various vehicle applications. If your specific vehicle application is not listed, a universal right or left hand shifter should be used. Areas of consideration on any installation are vehicle console and floorboard clearances. These shifters have been designed mainly around stock vehicles. Vehicles with body lifts greater than 1” may require more than the usual modifications for proper fit of the shift handles.

Atlas Shifter Linkage Upgrade: The connection rods for the Atlas were designed to be universal so they could be adjusted for various drivetrain lengths. The stock linkage works well for the majority of applications and vehicles. The extreme racers and rock crawlers, on the other hand, were looking for a linkage that would withstand the abuse that they put their rigs through. The two kits offered are upgrades that work with the standard handles and use heim joints that are bolted to the Atlas linkage. Anyone can upgrade to these kits as they will work on all Atlas ridged-mounted twin stick applications: P/N 303040 or P/N 303041. The application details & descriptions are available online.

4 Speed Shifter Options - MAIN CASE:

We have designed several different shifters to fit various vehicle applications. If your specific vehicle application is not listed, the universal shifter should be used. Areas of consideration on any installation are vehicle console and floorboard clearances. These shifters have been designed mainly around stock vehicles. Vehicles with body lifts greater than 1” may require more than the usual modifications for proper fit of the shift handles.

The 4 speed shifters are basically the same as the standard Atlas shifters except for the extension tube and shift rail connecting links which are longer to compensate for the added length of the transfer case.

4 SPEED REDUCTION HOUSING SHIFTER:

The planetary reduction portion of this box is a non-synchronized unit. YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE SHIFTING THE PLANETARY.

For the manual transmission, the shifting procedure should be to stop the vehicle then shift the planetary. If the shift is unsuccessful, then feather the clutch as you pull on the shift lever. The unit should slide easily into gear.

For an automatic transmission, the shifting procedure should be to stop the vehicle. Shift the transmission to neutral and then quickly shift the planetary. If you pause, the transmission output shaft will accelerate while the planetary is between gears. If the shift is not immediately successful, then shut off the engine while the transmission is still in neutral. Once the engine is shut off, complete the shift of the planetary unit. Restart your engine while the transmission is still in neutral.

Cable Shifter:

This shifter provides a linkage system that can be mounted to the floorboard of the vehicle. This single handle shifter has a front-to-rear movement and only requires a small clearance hole in the floorboard. It requires you to route the cable so that it does not interfere with the driveshafts or other moving components. We also recommend that you keep the cable away from the exhaust as much as possible. The location of the shifter on the floorboard can vary. On Jeeps with a full console like the TJs, we have found that this shifter fits nicely besides the emergency brake towards the driver’s seat. We’ve also had customers install the shifter between the driver’s door and their seat. The floorboard requires three holes drilled through and a small oval slot for the handle.

Atlas Shifter Knobs Option:

The Atlas twin stick shifter kit comes with two standard black knobs packed in the rubber shifter boot. You can customize your Atlas installation with one of our billet aluminum or anodized aluminum knobs. All knobs come in a standard pattern or reversed pattern for the cable shifters and measure 2-3/4” tall.
