[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 427868, member: 18789"] Used is fine for the front. Might want to check/swap the u-joints in it but otherwise it should be ok. It shouldn't as long as it's for the AX15. It mounts using 3 bolts, 2 are to the studs on the trans shifter, and the third is a large bolt that goes into the side of the transmission. As long as it's for AX15 it should work fine because all of them have the two studs and that mbolt hole. I have seen instances where AX15s from Cherokees didn't have that side bolt hole though, so post pics of the transmission before you buy so you don't buy one of those. Yes, they are cheap. Definitely worth replacing rather than using the ones that come with the transmission, if any do. Sounds good. Doesn't need to be fancy, you'll never see it. You'll probably have to stretch the holes to get them over the shifter bases anyways (and they may already be stretched from whoever removed them from the Jeep it came out of). Definitely doesn't need to be pretty. The cheap ones (lesser quality) would be Crown, Rugged Ridge, Omix Ada, Rough Country, etc. Ironically they aren't cheap. The one I recommend is JB Conversions Standard, not the super short. The super short is good but the speed sensors it comes with are pre-set and they don't seem to last very long with any heat. They require a programmer to adjust the speedo for different tires. I actually like that part, because you can get the speedo 100% correct, but I don't want that speed sensor since it doesn't seem to last and JB is the only place you can get replacements. The JB standard SYE is around $200, excellent quality (better than Advance Adapters), offers better driveshaft length than any other Standard SYE, and just all around seems to be the best choice. Don't buy a rear stock driveshaft if you decide to do the SYE. If you decide to skip the SYE, then buy both driveshafts used. Or talk to Tom Wood or Adams Driveshafts, they could get you some stock style ones but definitely wouldn't be as cheap as used on eBay. Although by the time you buy used and swap the u-joints, it may be expensive to go that route anyways. Also, 94-95 YJs have a 1330 rear yoke. Since you have a 93, you'd either need a conversion u-joint to run a driveshaft out of a 94-95, or just source the driveshaft from 93 and earlier. [/QUOTE]
