Is this a direct swap in a 96 XJ AW4, 4.0 ?

Is the 242 from a pre 91, if not no and will have to change the input of the tcase to 23 spline. And also the whole shift assembly will have to be acquired also as the shift pattern is different.

If its the same era and same transmission, then its basically a direct swap. You will need a sub-harness and some shifter parts, but otherwise it reuses all the same parts (driveshafts etc)

Did you get the sub-harness? If not go back and pull it from the donor. About 1-foot long
