I took a look at the fluid and it is still like it was when I put it in the tranny with the change if filter and gasket.

Full shaft SYE replaces the main shaft. The 21/23 business is the input gear, which is separate. Otherwise you'd never get into 4LO

It was doing this problem before I changed any of the fluid or gasket or filter it was worse before all of this I couldn't drive it at all I literally had to limp it home that time and now it still try's to drive just slips out and acts like it is in neutral

I got an 88 xj after the po had jousted with a rock wall . Wasn't sure if the front axle [d30] was bent so i found a good deal on cl I think out of a 92, complete except the rotors and calipers. Anyway long story short the calipers and rotors i have off the 88 don't seem to fit.I've lost my chilton book but the hardware I marked and bagged off the 88 does not seem to cross over. Is this just the jeep gods way of telling me to go with the wj upgrade or do I just need the older xj knuckles Thanks Gary

Swap them... the hole in the tail housing should be the same.

I'd just buy new calipers and rotors for a '92 and your hardware as a core

Sounds like you need a new transmission.
