    There are a few things you can check before jumping to the conclusion that the shifter cable has snapped.

    Do I have a lift?

    Looks like maybe a 4-5" lift to me, especially with those tires. If your YJ has a lift, there are a few things you can check.

    Which automatic transmission should I put 1988 YJ?

    Why not go with an AX-15? Are you dead set on an auto? 32RH would probably be your best bet if you want an auto.

    Getting my Jeep running after years of sitting

    What year is it? I'd start by draining the fuel, replacing gaskets and seals, new spark plugs, carb rebuild (if it's got a carb), new fuel filter, new oil, all new fluids, etc.
