The reason that Hurst has not made a shifter for the Dak could be either of
two reasons:
1. The Wrangler transmission is the AX-15, the same box behind the 4
and cyl Daks. The bean counters probably told the
the engineering staff that they are high if they think 4 and 6er
Dak owners would buy this. The V-8 units have a New
Venture Gear transmission, maybe they haven't had one in the shop
2. They don't realise that the small engine daks have the same tranny.
Shh....here's a secret.....I recently lent my V-6 Dak to B&M for a day so
they could spec out my shifter. If anyone living in the LA
area that has V-8 5 spd is willing to let B&M have their truck for a day to
spec the NVG shifter, I can give you the name of an engineer
there that would be interested in talking to you.
