(Brkt. #1)
Jeep# 53004280
This bracket bolts the adapter to the
transfer case flange and is the most
universal of the 4 brackets. If you are
having trouble mounting your transfer
case linkage, obtain this bracket to
simplify your installation. No additional
brackets are normally necessary. This
bracket is sometimes hard to find. We
now offer a bracket similar to this one,
P/N 715545.
(Brkt. #2)
Jeep# 53005371
This bracket is normally found
on Jeep AX15 transmissions.
(Brkt. #3)
Jeep# 53004278
This bracket is normally used
with the AX4 & AX5 transmission.
(Brkt. #4)
This bracket (used mostly in TJs and
some Cherokees) is by far, the
hardest linkage to retain when doing
any type of conversion. The outside
of the bracket is bolted to the frame
rail or floorboards, thus causing dif-
ficulty adjusting for different trans-
mission lengths.
NEW PROCESS TRANSFER CASE SHIFTERS: There are several configurations used on the New Process transfer cases.
We manufacture several brackets to assist you in retaining your stock shifter; however, some applications are not available. You
may be required to fabricate your own brackets to work with our adapters.
The stock brackets pictured below are the most common brackets we have found on New Process series transfer cases. Some
of these brackets were used in specific applications, while others were interchanged. The photos below will help you identify the
stock linkage your vehicle may have. This will assist you as to whether or not we offer additional brackets to mount your linkage.
We offer assistance on mounting some of the above stock transfer case shifters. If we do not offer a bracket for your application,
we suggest that you purchase Bracket #1. The part numbers listed below refer to the stock bracket referencing numbers.

When replacing the stock transmission on Cherokee vehicles, some fabrication on the transfer case linkage will be required. The
transfer case handle is mounted to the body of these vehicles; and this vehicle has a console that fits around the transfer case shifter.
The replacement of this linkage would require both floorboard and interior modifications. The type of linkage under the body is shown
by Bracket #4. This linkage uses a bellcrank that pivots between a transfer case mounting bracket and a body mount bracket. When
the transfer case moves, so does the transfer case mounting bracket which will cause a misalignment of the transfer case shifter
bellcrank. We recommend modifying the body mount bellcrank support to realign the bellcrank to the transfer case support. The
rods on the bellcrank may also need to be lengthened or shortened accordingly. You can also try using our P/N 715542 bracket
which replaces the body pivot mount.
