yes it is sir.

your jeep came w a two piece assembly I believe part of it is for cruise control mechanism as well, if you have cruise that is,......

call dealer they have a part number for it (it will be different than what is stamped on the one you have taken out)......look at morris4x4.com and rockauto.com for replacements etc....

hope this helps!!!

Here's a site with Mopar-Jeep OEM parts catalogs in PDF format. Download a copy, and look it up. Than call a parts dealer. http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=0

I just broke mine :(

Today (after just fixing my speedometer) decided to change the regular bulbs in the dash for red ones. I thought i'd be smart and disconnect the speedo cable from the speed sensor instead of all the way back at the T case. I ended up searing off both of the threaded ends on the speed sensor with one turn. I've called about 5 auto parts stores, dealer & two junk yards and nobody knows what i'm talking about or can't get any. I checked the links in this page but none turned out what I need. A few similar ones but not the one I need. Any more ideas?
