I was wondering if anyone knows what difference, if any,there might be between the "Mode Fork" in the 231 in my '92 XJ and one from an '87-'93 YJ.
Mine is broken on one end (found out while replacing the chain) and I found the YJ one new very cheap. Its listed as a YJ part, but I was hoping they might be the same.

Make sure you install the mode sleeve in the correct position- It can be installed backwards and will allow you to complete install and drive around but will not let you shift easily and it will pop out of low range. Oops, it happened to me. :doh:
