99 Wrangler LS1
99 Wrangler dash I pluged the oil and temp sensors into the LS1 and Novak adapter has a VSS connection. The only thing that doesn't work is the tach. I used an Auto Meter tach hooked up to the LS1 computer. You also need a Camaro 4l60e TCC/brake light switch to unlock the torque converter.
All other lights work on the dash running off the jeep computer.
Everything works good.
I will send a pic later.

Direct link Lokar? That was my first, pulled it out because it was interfering with other linkage. Now that I have the Novak TC shifter, it may fit, not sure.. Now I have the B&M megashifter and I HATE it. Worst purchase ever. It has that ratcheting mode crap in it that makes wheeling a huge PITA.
I think the next one will be an art carr cable shifter so I can build a console and mount the shifter to where I won't have to reach for it.
Anyone else using the Novak TC shifter? I love that it mounts to the drivetrain and does away with the mushy OEM Z gate stuff. So far so good with it.
JIMB, either motor

i talked to novak about a shifter like yours, they dont make one for a GM np231, just the jeep np231, so i am making a shifter modeled after the novak one, it is a great design. they said a month or so back they were thinking about making one for the gm, i guess i need to call back and ask about it again.
98 Wrangler I had a Street Bandit shifter in my 67 Nova. Connected to a 700R trans. Much better than the Hammer because the lever is easier to grab.
A die grinder to the hammer shifter detents might help.
I pulled the 98 with the 4.8 into the work shop tonight and a 6.0 with a LS6 intake and small cam would be very cool.
I've driven the stock 6.0 for 3 weeks and it runs great. Something about the V8 sound in a Jeep.
The 98 deserves either the LS1 rebuilt or a 6.0 with a LS6 intake and small cam. 400 rear wheel HP would be alot of fun.
When I pull the 4.8, I would like to sell engine, trans, and transfer case together. I need to think about the price.
