So if it' gonna save me some time this weekend, guess I'll go for it. Are they swappable ? Donor is a 1990 xj . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 read this as well, just in case yours is 5 speed and the xj is auto or vice-versa. also, pay CLOSE attention to the removal/install instructions. they're done that way to make it easier for you and you won't have to readjust your steering most likely.

KYMJ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yes, there is, I did it. Had to buy an $8 tool, so not too bad. But, the repair is not fun, but doable. Link as soon as I find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMJ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 http://elcaminocentral.com/article95.html Got the tool at a Bumper to Bumper parts store(in stock). Made by Lisle, number escapes me. Other tools are needed, but I had those. Have fun! Edit: found it.http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
