"STEP 9: With the case disassembled inspect the mode fork shift rod (see image above).
If the shift rod measures 10.2” than you will need to cut it down to a length of 9.380”. This has been found to be a common problem for 1988- 1989 YJ models. You will need to cut the shift rod at the end located on the back side of the transfer case (Yoke side). Make sure that after cutting all burs and ruff edges have been cleaned."
i have an 88 xj, im doing most of my work in a parking lot and am rather limited on teh tools available to me. would it be possible to get a later np231 shaft from a 90+ with the correct length instead of cutting my current one down?
