looks like the guys at LKQ dont know that manual FX4s have those stock.

they call them aftermarket, but claim mileage appropriate wear and removal from an 03.

Umm, our electronic shift cases aren't having problems dude. It's called "justifying a purchase". There's a reliability in Manual shifters that elec tcases dont have. BUT, on the other hand, I've owned two rangers that have never had tcase problems. And so have a billion other people on this site.

Worth noting, you are terrible with vehicles. Fires, engine problems, uber expensive bumpers.

im sure that was before the fire, since it was never driven after that.

MANY issues with the shift motor have been documented countless times.

the reason for the electric shift is that the general public is lazy and stupid. manual t-cases take effort and common sense to operate.
