Product Description
The JP GROUP Selector / Shift Rod (1131602000) is an original-equipment-quality gear linkage selector rod manufactured by JP GROUP. Located within the engine bay mechanical shift linkage array behind the transmission casing, its primary function is to transmit physical movements from the cabin's gear stick directly into the transmission selector tower. Built to strict factory specifications, it replaces worn out, loose original rods to eliminate excessive gear lever free-play, restoring crisp, precise shifting gates and preventing missed gears.
