Ok here is the deal I am picking up a RE hack and tap for like $20 (for hack and tap and output shaft and tailcone) out of a '98 TJ my question is will it work on my '89 XJ?

Can I get the TJ output shaft and install it into the XJ if I use the TJ tailcone?

PM old_man for confirmation, but I think that will work.

There is one difference that you might want to consider!The late model doesnt use needle bearings for the front drive sprocket and the gears have oil slots cut in them.The output shafts have different diameter at that spot.Reference TW's info and my pic!

You are going to have to remove the tailshaft cone to install so you will need the cone replacement with seal. 96+ dont use that cone anymore so they dont need it. Red round piece at REs webpage.

if you have the 98 tj case you should have enough parts to make it work.

you should be able to swap the TJ shaft, tailhousing, and SYE to your case no problem. if that doesn't work b/c of the reason RCP listed, just use the entire TJ case but swap your input shaft in necessary.

Either press out the bearings from your drive hub or use the entire output assembly from the 98'.

Alright pulled my tcase last night and took a look at it. It appears that I can use my stock output shaft with the '98 TJ hack and tap if I just use the TJ tailcone since that is where the seal is and all the snap rings line up all I gotta do today is get a new seal and cut the output shaft by about an inch. then tap it with a bolt (gotta find a tap and bolt too).
So I will post pics and tell you how it went tonight.

Do you have the entire TJ Tcase? if so why dont you just install it instead of taking 2 apart?
