1997-1998 Sport Automatic Transmission V4AW3 Winters Shifter

[ES_97Sport]

I thought some of you might get a kick out of this. It just came in today. This is the Winter's A/T shifter from Radesigns Products for the AW4 Aisin Warner automatic transmission with Rory's Modified Rock Gate and electronic switch kit options. This transmission was installed in Jeeps, Toyotas, Nissans, and Mitsubishis. Notably, in the Gen 1 '97-98 (and maybe some '99s) Montero Sport.

Automatic Transmission/Transfer Case Compatibility Notice

THIS IS NOT A DIRECT DROP IN REPLACEMENT! A rocker switch kit is required with some wire patching to be able to switch between normal automatic operation and full manual shift operation. Modifications to the console trim cover - yea, go figure - and possibly some bracket changes/modifications and a shift cable change out.

I'm installing this one on my '99 Limited after the transmission swap and with an aftermarket PCS TCU. A whole different - and much more complicated - process than dropping this in a vehicle that already has the AW4 like the '97-98.

This is definitely the amazing hotness if you're going to wheel an A/T. Full gear control, no 'magic' up-shifting when you don't want it to, direct to reverse - no gates, access to ALL four gears at any time. Very cool!







Note: I THINK the labels are incorrect. Have to check with Rory. There are a couple different configurations. The image below is what it should be.
