Folks, just bought a 88 YJ, want to fix the sloppy shifter, so went to one of the jeeps parts sites ordered the shift mechanism for the AX transmission, When I went to swap the parts and found that the transmission is different, after doing some VIN searching I found that this Jeep was made in Canada. Did they put different transmissions in the Canadian Jeeps?
 
My 89 is Canadian also and uses a metric oil filter that’s a pain to source.
