Atlas t/c jeep tj & (xj 84-01) cable shifter – Advance Adapters 303020A User Manual
Page 2

NOTE ON SHIFTING:
The Atlas Transfer case is a synchronized unit. The transfer case shifts best when the shafts are spinning.
Note that when the transfer case is shifted when not in motion, the teeth may or may not be aligned. If the teeth are aligned, then the
unit will slip into gear easily. If the unit does not slip into gear easily, then no amount of pulling on the handle will cause the unit to
shift. The transfer case must be spun slightly and then it will shift.
This shifter will not fit the Allison transmission due to cable interferance with the stock adapter housing.
Jeep XJ's may require a bit of trimming on the console bezel insert.
NOTE: We recommend temporarly protecting the shifter cables with rubber hose or duct tape when routing
through the shifter floor hole as this will prevent damaging the outer cable housing.

CABLE SHIFTER
*Note:
The first cable shifters used an shift rail adapter on the shift rail for coupling the cables to the Atlas. The shift rails were
changed 7-1-07. This new style of rail is drilled and tapped to directly accept the threaded cable end and eliminate the shift rail
adapter. We switched back to the adapters fittings 8-16-10 for ease of installation of the cable to the Atlas. Some shift rails still
have the thread hole on the end of the shift rail. 3/15/12 newest shift rail to work with the new cable connection parts has a drilled
clearance hole in shift rail. (see photo next page)
This kit includes the latest version components for the shift rails that are drilled out. If you have the drilled and tapped shift rails,
you can install the cables into the rails directly or you can use a 7/32" drill and clearance the threads to use the new connection
pieces (aprox. .600" deep). The new connection pieces are the easiest to install without the potential to damage the cable.
SPECIAL NOTE:
The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components
