Additional Information

The snowblower shift rod grip, part number 723604, slides onto the shift rod to give you a secure, comfortable surface while changing gears or speeds. Proper grip placement can make shifting feel more controlled and reduce strain on your hands during use.

If the shift rod feels slippery, uncomfortable, or difficult to hold during gear changes, the grip may be worn, cracked, or no longer seating securely. Hardening of the material, tears, or a grip that spins on the rod can also affect comfort and control.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The shift rod grip installs on metal control rods, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the grip seats fully on the rod and does not slip before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
