i did it on my 92. its great if you want just 2nd gear and not have to wait. mounted it to the right of the shifter on the bezel with a lighted flush mount rocker switch i got at radioshack. looks factory. took about 45 min at most. pull the lower dash panel to find the control unit with the plug. if i remember right its tucked up there.

It does not work on the late model XJs. The later transmissions have input and output shaft speed sensors and if the computer sees a problem, like being locked in 2nd gear, the CEL comes on.
On my 2001 XJ, I have tried several variations of locking it in 2nd gear but, no matter what, it throws a code. It also screws up the shifting when switching back to automatic operation.
I find it necessary to us a code scanner to clear the code to get the shifting back to normal.

I use brettm's shifter with my 98 and works good. But it does throw a code. But after a restart or two with it back in auto it shuts off.

Personally, I'm getting ready to install my controller from awshifting.com
why have control over 1-2 shift when I can control them all! muahahaha!
yeah it says somewhere on his site that it always throws code on late models...but apparently its no big deal.

Hello everyone! Officially new to 
, but I've been using the forum for a while now.
I am looking in to doing the same mod, but the anatomy of the 97 and later models is not the same. Where do I find the wire that feeds the #2 solenoid?
I figure that if you only use it when wheeling, you can reset the CEL, and turning off the key would also help prevent the "screwing up the shifting" thing.
