Anyone know what the part that goes in this slot is? Or better yet, know what it looks like so I can make one myself? (I have a mill in my garage)

It's from an '85 Wrangler YJ (square headlights) The tranny is a peugeot (sp) and I can't find any in the local junk yards. The Walmart :wifey: is complaining about riding her bike now that it's getting cold and wants me to fix the POS.

I searched the intrawebs exstensively, & came up with nothing.
The peugeot BA10/5 was used in YJ's from 1987 to 1989-1/2.
Does the end of the shifter have a thick square chunk, for the upper shifter to attach to?

Looking at the slot in the ball, I would think the cup parts that surround it may have some sort of tang on them that sit in the slot, to keep it from rotating.

This is just a guess though.

The French transmission, does have a reputation for being weak & prone to breakage. Widely suggested, to swap in the AX/15.:oldman:

That ball is the pivot for the shifter, and, I'm thinking, the slot indexes with a tang inside the casing of the tranny that receives the shifter.

It holds the ball centered, so it can act as a fulcrum for all the forward/backward/right & left movements.


I've had the shifters out of YJ & XJ BA 10-5's before (FWIW, YJ & XJ shifters are different, both above, and below the pivot), but it's been a while. (tossed the last of that stuff away a few years ago).

What happens when you just drop the shifter back into the tranny?

If it's locked in 2 gears at once, you have to clear it into neutral first. (BMF screwdriver usually works).

Hey Jim, funny side note. I was looking at all these pages of Ba10/5 parts & pics, & your old avatar was on one of them.:eye:lllllll:eye:

It's a small interweb I guess. :)

I did some posting in the past about those tranny's, I actually had good luck with them, even figured out how to convert a 2wd version into a 4wd.
The last foot, or so of the 2wd tailshaft is splined, chop it off, and replace the tailshaft with a 4wd rear housing.
I couldn't believe it was that easy, even when used Junk 4wd BA 10-5's were going for $700+, you could get 2wd versions for free. :jump:

I always had a couple spares layng around. :agree:

Yea, that's just the shift lever itself. The ball is the pivot, and you'll find it encased in the top cover. On the AX15 and NV3550s, this top cover unbolted with 4 screws and the whole assembly came out as one. You actually needed to disassemble it to get the shaft out. See part number 7 in this diagram (not for your tranny, but gives you the right idea):

He's asking what goes in the slot on the ball itself.

actually that looks like one of them Kegel exercisers teh womens use, other than the weld joint of course.

Oops... that's probably just where some part of the housing mates to it to keep it from spinning within the top plate. Maybe a spring or detent of some sort sticks out into it.

If I hold the shifter in place it will shift, but I'm not about to put down my rum and coke just to drive that damn thing. :disagree:

Found this...
