Transfer Case Shift Lever Replacement Bushing
Reference Part Number: 53004810 | Fits Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee
Product Overview
This brand new replacement shift lever bushing is engineered to restore precision and smooth operation to your four-wheel-drive linkage. Over years of shifting between ranges, the original factory linkage bushings degrade, turn brittle, or completely drop out, resulting in a loose, sloppy shifter paddle that struggles to engage 4WD. Pressing in this fresh, durable green compound bushing eliminates excess mechanical play and keeps your shifter securely anchored to the linkage rods.
What's Included In This Kit
  • 1x Shift Lever Bushing: A premium molded replacement bushing finished in a high-visibility green color compound.
  • Direct Linkage Seating: Formed specifically to snap into the factory transfer case range lever or control rod arm loops.
  • Please Note: This listing includes one individual bushing only; torque shafts, range arms, cotter pins, and mounting brackets are not included.
Important Fitment Notice
  • Check Your Specs: Please carefully verify your vehicle's exact make, model, sub-model, and production year before finalizing your purchase.
  • Avoid Delays: Cross-reference your existing factory components or specifications with the fitment details provided below to ensure a flawless installation.
  • We Are Here to Help: If you are unsure about compatibility with your specific rig, please send us a message with your vehicle make and model prior to ordering, and our team will gladly verify fitment for you.

Tech & Installation Tips
  • Thoroughly clear out any residual rotted plastic fragments or old crusty grease from the linkage rod eyelet before installing the fresh bushing.
  • Applying a minimal dab of silicone grease to the rod tip will allow the new bushing to pop smoothly onto the linkage pin without binding.
  • Use a pair of smooth-jaw slip-joint pliers to gently squeeze the bushing into the mechanical arm loop until the collar lip seats completely.
