[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 427831, member: 18789"] Yeah that's just a transmission. They cut the weatherpack plug off of the backup light switch so you'll probably want to buy a new backup light switch. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.transmissionpartsdistributors.com/ax15-ax5-ax4-transmission-backup-lamp-switch-fits-jeep-84-02-mopar-83500629/[/URL] Can use that Mopar 8350029 to try and find a genuine Mopar somewhere, or cross reference it. You can buy them Standard Motor Parts at pretty much any parts store as well. Simple bolt on install. The shifter you can get on eBay. You can still buy Mopar branded shift boots if desired. I bought one just this year, it's nice quality. The shifter stick is different from YJ to TJ, so make sure to buy one for a YJ. They're usually around 100 bucks. As for the clutch, it comes with a pressure plate, friction disc, lineup tool for install, and a throwout bearing. I discard the throwout bearing from the kit and buy Mopar instead. Not a must, just my preference. The aftermarket throwout bearings seem to be trash.
