Making pool (billiard) ball shift knobs for Jeeps (pt1)
In this series, we are going to go through the full process of how we make our pool (billiard) ball shifters, which many of our fans have on their 5 speed Jeep XJs and TJs. This vid we go through how we mark them for drilling and keep everything lined up. Part 2 will be machining, final marking, and paint. Hope to see you back for the next one. If anyone has a source out there for bulk USA made pool balls... please let us know. Still looking to make these a viable run

I wanna see the rest of the video ❤
Just randomly thought about this and this is the only video I could find of someone doing it. 🍻 To innovation
Curious how you wired the JK's gauge cluster to power-up on the bench. I'm guessing PINs 1, 6 for +12V DC of the C1 terminal and the bottom 4 of that to ground? And does Pin 5 need to get +12V DC as well so the cluster powers on?
If you are looking at the back of the cluster, first connector on the left, pins 5-6 get 12v+, center pins on the bottom row get ground.
@@Azzysdesignworks Thanks! Do you wind up connecting directly to the pins with leads, or did you build your own harness? Finding matching plugs of the right type is a hassle (so far).
What is the reason for marking the old guage face?
Different methods I've seen people note where their gauges sit at idle, so you can tell after install and setting the needles that they are running as they should be. More needed on the XJ and TJ than the stepper motor gauges. Some of this was also made before decent cell phones were available, and we also get a lot of older guys with bad eyesight upgrading.
So this is stupid get rid of the 242 part. Once you're in 4 lo it just gets stuck no matter which hole you use. This shit is so dumb. I just spent 4 hours trying to figure it out. Fuck azzy design shift linkage and any kind like it. The shift cable idea was better than that crap
Did you post Part 2. Working the same thing right now. The paint part is what I am needing to see.
Paint is easy after engraving. Wipes off the smooth part, sticks to the recesses. I haven't gotten a chance to do pt 2 yet, lost my staff right after this was filmed, and have been running solo aside from a few part time helpers.
This tab is exactly the answer for my linkage woes. Thanks!!!
Does this work on a 233 transfer case?
Have not had a chance to personally test.
Are these still being manufactured?
Yes. Current stainless steel prices have had our stock low for about a month. Because of that, its a bit harder to invest the capital needed to run a batch of linkages. We have some supply for our dealers, and are working on a new supply run now.
I like the chrome deleted cluster. No sure where you guys got that
2007-2012 came without the chrome rings, at least on most models. The cluster housing itself is the same, but those bezels and the clear plastic cover are slightly different. If you wanted to remove the chrome, those do seperate, but it might be easier to use something like plasti-dip on them instead.
Suggestion to save card board I cut 4 inch by 4 inch squares put 4 in the corners and one in the center and I use poster board.
The cardboard gets re-used in the spray booth floor, so no worry on waste. Didnt think to try that, might have to later, thanks for the tip!
Super cool, gotta try this out. Thanks for sharing!
Have fun!
Couldn’t figure it out. Couldn’t find any info in forums. Finally found this video, now it works perfectly. I’ve got an 88 Comanche with a 97 ax15 and 231 swapped.
Have you designed one for the zj yet?
We have one designed and made that fits the 242 + 4.0 ZJ, and are testing it with a few V8s. The biggest delay is getting parts made, our adjustment rod manufacture is behind, and rods we hoped to receive a month ago are just shipping this week.
@Azzysdesignworks I was wondering, is there something fundamentally different about the 249? Or just different lengths? I don't mind buying an adapter and trying to modify it, or even making my own, as long as I'm not going to break my t-case from messing around 😅
@@Drivin_Sideways It all comes down to the movement of the input shaft on the tcase. We just were not able to work out a good solution for that case, and did not see the market in trying to make a more complicated one for a case that we did not feel was as popular for offroad applications.
Do you make one for the TJ? 🙂
Not any longer. The relationship between the frame and the tub (where the lever is mounted) changes too much depending on a variety of factors. So what is a n easy setup for some will be hours of adjusting, even for the same model year and ride height. We recommend going with a good reputation cable setup for those (like Novak), if the linkage kit from Teraflex is no longer available.
Strong for its size..”light”….
👍🏻
Show how looks runnings
I have a 2 inch lift and a t case drop. The threaded rod seems to be too short for me even wound all the way out. Jumps into part time 4wd randomly when I have the shifter in 2wd
Lifts (with a few exceptions) are not changing the distance between the tcase and lever, we have seen some 96XJs having the floor pan shifted one way or the other. Email us a photo of how its currently setup. If you are running a 231 kit on the 242, this could be an issue as well.
I feel like this issue needs to a note in the instructions. Glad I found it in the faq, but I sure messed around with things far to long. 93 4.0 5 speed 2 door. Thanks for adding that tab and the video.
We re-did the instructions recently, and it should be in there, I'll go double check. Unfortunately we have to gate keep some things because of knockoffs.
@@Azzysdesignworks perfect. This was a genuine kit from you guys. It just mentioned a 5 speed video up top and the link was brother. Had to go to the webpage but it’s all good :). Going the og route is always better than Chinese knockoffs.
@@Potatogambit I checked this, and it's mentioned in both the Mopar and ADW versions of the instructions. If you received instructions with stills from the install video, thats the ones they are sending out with the knockoffs, and they dont understand the needs or installs, since they only copied it from photos.
@@Azzysdesignworks well I hope I didn’t get a nock off since I ordered from you guys lol. It just had a link to 5 speed setup video. And the link came up with video not available when I looked it up. Had to do a little hunting for this one. I’d be happy to send you the photo. But like I said I figured it out in the end. May have just been an old stock unit.
I had my Dermel GO for 5yrs now when I first bought it at Home Depot since I live in Austin, Texas I'm a gadget guy I love gadgets when I fell in love with this tool.This is a very handy go to cordless screwdriver to have around the house or apartment and on the go in your backpack ,car, RV, garage, etc. for whatever project come to mind like putting together a bookshelf, hanging curtain rods, mounting a towel rack, installing a light fixture, or hanging pictures etc. Word to the wise this would make a nice gift for anyone in your life who likes to work with their hands or a housewarming present for the future homeowner, Thanks Dermel and for the review of this video I love it, Peace.
I have an auto but I think I'm gonna have to do the same. They're jusy super close together
We've seen some .. interesting layouts on some years, particularly 1996 XJs. But thats why we came up with this system, to make our kit fit the most options and varieties of XJ :)
Thanks a ton for this fix. 97 4.0 5 spd. I was wondering what that laser cut was for ever since I saw the product online. I was going to ask about using the top hole instead but figured the geometry would be off. It was. Also I found an extra jam nut in my package. It came in handy for spacing out the rear stud on the rod because it was touching my t-case when inserted all the way. My upper link barely touches the t-case also but doesn’t interfere with detente. Thanks again
THANK YOU SO MUCH. This video saved so much frustration. I'm going to run back out to the garage and get this unit set up properly now. I'm so happy you made this video thank you.
Can a person send you guys the cluster and have you guys do the install?
We've helped customers with installs at shows, however, we are not setup right now to be able to handle that as a service, sorry. Last few years have been rough for us, as we grow back, we would like to set up that sort of offering once we have the staff to be able to dedicate the time.
I own european 2.5 diesel XJ with manual AX-15 and NP231J t-case...today I lost half a day trying to figure out how to install it...what ever I tried I couldn't do it properly...there is simply not enough space between upper lever and bottom shaft that's coming out of t-case. I'm sure I did everything right, checked 100 times, I'm sure I set up the shifting handle inside the vehicle in the same position as t-case shaft but the golden link is too long (max shortened) I dislocated the blue part following your instruction by puncturing the middle pin and then I managed to install it somehow but now I don't have enough movement to engage the 4L...everything works fine, first three positions shift nice but can't reach the last one :S Looking from inside the car, when the shifting handle is down in 2H t-case is also in 2H, I pull it once and it engages 4H normally (it shows the AWD light), next position should be N, but the handle engages N in last position where 4L should be :\ Did anyone have similar experience?
Did you see our video (linked in the instructions and on the website, although a recent batch of 50 or so instructions printed without the link) on adjusting for a 5 speed using the 3rd tab interface? th-cam.com/video/od64eiC7XsI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AzzysDesignWorks
I think we have the same problem. Did you manage to install it?
Awesome, cool way to tackle those edge cases!
We just tried to make our kit the one that fit the most XJs. Its worked! Which is why our kit is now the only one to carry the Jeep name and the mopar M 😎
Okay I know it says 242 but I literally can’t find any instructions or videos in how it goes in. Because a 242 goes down and up instead of front to back! Please can anyone show me how for my ZJ
We do not have a kit for the ZJ yet (it is in testing right now). The 242 install is the same as the 231 in the XJ, just with a longer upper link plate. And while they may have come with some of the same components, the ZJ and XJ are different in this regard.
Great DIY product
It’s this kind of care for what you do that got you a sale. I bought a knockoff on Amazon (didn’t know the history), had this very issue with my 5 speed manual, and found your videos explaining the product and where I was going wrong. I just ordered one from your site (under the same name as this comment, so you’ll see I’m not joking) and will be returning that other junk off brand later this week. Even if that other one would work, I’d rather support locally, and with someone that actually stands by what they make. Thanks for your dedication to your product! I do have a question though, and maybe this only pertained to my junky one, but I noticed that the part of the linkage with the three holes hits the housing of the transfer case, and is super snug to where it feels like it could pop out of 2H. Is this normal?
Mike, I remember chatting. thank you for this, I really do appreciate it. On the question of the lower plate : over the years we've had a few customers mention it touched. We think this is just due to variations in the casting of the transfer case bodies. The real indexing happens with the detent (see our video on cleaning that here th-cam.com/video/IoaF88uJ4ak/w-d-xo.html ) and you will feel this at the case when adjusting / installing. If it is still touching and not going into gear, let us know. -Bryan
I think I may have my linkage adjusted incorrectly because it try’s to pop out of 4 low when going down hill and doesn’t fully engage in 4hi at times. 2001 Jeep xj Any words of advice or suggestions
Send us a photo of how you have it setup for us best to diagnose.
Will this work with a dropped t-case as well?
Yes, either kit will work with a dropped transmember. In our experience, running one of those puts stresses on the front driveshaft, and contributes to vibrations at the case itself. We would recommend if you use our kit with one, to use loctite medium strength threadlocker on the turnbuckle to secure. As always, spare parts are available in our shop too : www.azzysdesignworks.com/shop/spare-parts
I'm wonder if the new version has a light 🤔
Doesn't appear so, but would be a nice addition. DeWALT has an impact that has a very thin line of LEDs around the head, to where something like that would work.
@@Azzysdesignworks 👍 thanks‼️
It's bad enough that this song earworm's it's way into my head every Halloween because of watching Beetlejuice...
You're welcome. 👂 🪱
Why does it bounce so much?
That vibration of the wood is because of the speed at which the laser head is going back and forth during the engraving; this could be stabilized if we just put something onto the plywood to keep it from happening.
Are those red and black lasers on ali express worth looking at?
There are millions of them in use, but do your due diligence. Nothing is more3 frustrating than importing a machine that doesnt work out of the box because the company cheaped out on basics. If its a solid state laser, hard pass on those here.
Want to purchase
Is it available on Amazon
The link is listed under the video.
dey gotem on amazon, up in the descriptions amzn.to/3I88akw
Push down on the center of the needle until it clicks, rotate counter clockwise while pulling up. You will be much less likely to pull the metal pins out and much less likely to break anything.
We'll try it out when we get our hands on a new cluster--any methods to get these done without causing too much havoc is always a plus.
What a viewing pleasure. Reminds me of the intricate plot twists of "Ass" as seen on Idiocracy. Such a fine ending, too.
My new bushing keeps popping out of transmission np249 t case 96 zj my options?
Hey AJ. So we actually have a ZJ in the shop right now and are working on getting a kit figured out for them. Keep tuned in and we will send out an announcement when that kit is available.
@@Azzysdesignworks I took out old linkage and left the bushing and wobble rod in to seal the transmission hole all I need is linkage from shifter to T case if all transfer cases are the same wouldn't your current linkage work?
No--the differences lie in the geometry between the shifter and the case, especially the throw distance and angles with a 249 inside the ZJ. We're working on it; with each model having the drivetrain sit in the vehicle slightly different than the others, and multiply that by options of engine and transfer cases offered, and take that variant across multiple years...it's a process.
@@Azzysdesignworks would you know if that transmission hole that holds bushing is a dummy hole or could debris or oil come out?
That should be just a hole with a plastic bushing with nothing behind it.
Helped so much
Glad to hear!
Still amazes me this was the actual successor to the XJ, but they only sold it with Cherokee badge outside of US and Canada. Lol. But hey, those nice rear disc brakes being drop in fit for xj is awesome. :)
Look at you being all reasonable in your comments. Most of our comments are just me responding to me in an endless circle of self-flagellation.
You know what this needs? More cowbell. That reference was still a thing in 2008, so shut up.
Nothing like hearting your own comments. Can yinz believe I get paid for this?!
Oh, I believe it.
🤣😂🤣😍🤣😂
How much of a budget do they have for buffalo?!
We all know some executive green-lit this, and they were on the books for getting their money's worth with a buffalo rental; I foresee other uploads because of this.
They probably had the same budget as "Birdemic".
😂
whered your pepee go 🤣😂🤣
The voice over guy don't sound drunk enough.
agreeed
I drink, but I don't have a YJ. I do enjoy my self deprivation owning a JK and a TJ.
Wait a minute--don't you work here?
@@Azzysdesignworks No, I work here.
I think someone is an imposter.
Who is at my desk?!
You mean "our desk".
Bought STOCK 1999 Cherokee off 88yr old man who NEVER used 4wd! I'm near 60- read intructions & crawled under it with few OPENend wrenchs & saws -all. 38 min. later.... DONE! GREAT product!
