Anyone have an issue getting theirs into Low? My JB Fab knobs are hitting the dash before they engage. Could this just be a linkage adjustment? Searched the forum but I don’t see where anyone has had this issue.

I don't have the JB twin sticks as I made my own... It should be an adjustment to move them back a bit. Have to crawl underneath and take a peek...

Yes, it's a linkage adjustment. The ends of the cable can be adjusted so you can adj the shifter knob so it won't hit the dash.

Good luck...the JBFab shifters, both cable and linkage are hands down the finest quality ones on the market... I've had others...

I have the JB linkage shifters and will have to bend them, with the ZF and np205 the twin stick hits the stock ZF shifter, so you cant technically put in 4L easily.

I had to bend them a bit to clear my NP-435 shifter. But front-to-back operation was fine on my 205..no interference or issues.

Our NP205 F twin-stick shifter are made to replace the stock shifter in a full size Bronco/truck.
We are happy to shorten them or reconfigure the bends to accommodate our friends with EBs, we just need measurements/pictures

Cheers,
Jon

Yeah I double checked mine and the np205 shifters really need to be shorter not so much as bent differently to not hit my stock ZF Shifter.

Jon is your ZF Shifter you sell pre-bent or does it need to be heated and bent hwo the buyer prefers?

Our ZF is straight (18") We can build them shorter if you like?
I am using one in an EB (slight bend at the bottom under the boot, and using one in a 95' (straight).

If the handles are too long or too short on any of our twin-stick shifters we can customize them for $30
