Hi folk I'm new here and have a couple of questions. I'm needing to buy a new transmission and needin to know the different types of tail housings are in an AX15. I currently have an 89 xj. The reason I ask is the transmission shop I was goin to buy it from is in colorado and I'm in nebraska. Guy tells me he needs to know the tail housing of the transmission I have currently in there. Something about the bolt pattern being different in the years. I have a np231

One of the differences I know of is from XJ to Wrangler. The Wrangler clocks the t-case up further. Thats the one I went with.

4.3L XJ

Difference between XJ and TJ is the only difference I know of too

What exactly do you mean by the 1 you went with and what year was the wrangler? Can some1 provide any pictures of what they both my look like

The one I went with was the same as what a Wrangler would come with, the YJ and TJ years. I dont know what year mine is from since I bought it as a new rebuild from a trans shop. I dont have any pictures on my phone but both XJ and Wrangler ax15 look identical besides the bolt hole location on the tail shaft (where the t-case mounts). Look up the t-case clocking kit for an XJ. Where you drill the holes is the same spot as a factory Wrangler ax15 tail shaft.
