Bah nevermind, I got it. Push the retainer and turn. Soooo simple lol. Haynes manual has NO mention of the AX15 shifter at all. Bastards!

Why do you even bother with the Haynes, when all the FSM's are available for free online?

They can **some** times be handy when you break down on the trail with no cell service. Other than that I would imagine most people on this forum have grown out of Haynes manuals by now :)
DECEASED - 'Big Ben' (black '97 XJ) : ~9" lift - 35's - Ford 9" - 4.56 gears - armoured up - ...and a sound system that can annoy the hell out of Lemon-aid Jay!!
NEXT - Dark green '98 XJ to build up....
