The Winters Toyota A340 & Jeep AW4 Replacement Shifter Gate Plate replaces a worn or damaged gate in compatible Winters SideWinder shifters used with Toyota A340 and Jeep AW4 automatic transmissions. The gate creates the physical path the shifter handle follows through the transmission positions, making the correct gate an important part of proper gear selection.

If the original gate is worn, damaged, or missing, this replacement lets you service the shifter without replacing the complete SideWinder assembly. It is designed for Winters A340 / AW4 shifter applications in Jeeps, rock crawlers, trail rigs, and custom off-road builds.

Available Gate Patterns:

  • Standard Pattern: For Toyota A340 / Jeep AW4 transmissions using a conventional automatic shift pattern.
  • RockGate Pattern: Uses the standard transmission shift pattern with a more open forward-gear gate designed for quicker movement between forward gears during rock crawling and technical off-road driving.
  • Reverse RockGate Pattern: Combines the RockGate-style forward gear layout with a reverse shift pattern for transmissions configured to operate with the corresponding reverse-pattern setup.

Includes:

  • (1) Winters Toyota A340 / Jeep AW4 Replacement Gate Plate
  • Choice of Standard, RockGate, or Reverse RockGate Pattern

Builder Note: The gate plate controls the path of the SideWinder shifter; it does not change the internal operation or shift pattern of the transmission. Choose the gate that matches both your transmission configuration and how you want the shifter to operate.

FAQ

What does the gate plate do in a Winters SideWinder shifter?

The gate plate creates the physical path the shift handle follows as you move between transmission positions. It provides the mechanical stops and routing that give the SideWinder its gated shift operation.

Why is the A340 / AW4 gate transmission-specific?

The gate needs to match the transmission and SideWinder shifter configuration so the handle positions correspond with the transmission's available ranges. A gate designed for a different transmission should not be substituted simply because it fits inside a similar SideWinder housing.

When should I replace my SideWinder gate plate?

Replacement makes sense if the existing gate is worn, bent, damaged, missing, or otherwise no longer providing the intended shift path. It also allows the gate to be serviced without replacing the complete shifter assembly.

Does this fit both Toyota A340 and Jeep AW4 transmissions?

Yes. This replacement gate is intended for the compatible Winters SideWinder applications referenced for Toyota A340 and Jeep AW4 automatic transmissions.

Is this a complete Winters SideWinder shifter?

No. This listing is for the replacement gate plate only. The SideWinder shifter, cable, transmission linkage, console, and other components are not included unless specifically stated.

Should I verify my existing shifter before ordering?

Yes. Check both the transmission and the Winters shifter configuration before ordering a replacement gate. If the existing shifter has been modified or its original application is unknown, identify the transmission and shifter setup before selecting replacement components.
