Page 7B-6 of the Haynes repair manual spells it out. About other transmissions, you'll need someone more experienced than me.

If it's a 4.0L, either a '94 or '95 trans from a 4.0L will work, but they changed in '96 so nothing from '96 or later will work. And in '93 the 4.0L used the AW4 trans, so those won't work either. If it's a V8, again, a '94 or '95 V8 trans will work. But again, they changed in '96, so nothing '96 or newer will work.

The following info comes from the ZJ Factory Service Manual:

GEARSHIFT CABLE
Check adjustment by starting the engine in Park
and Neutral. Adjustment is OK if the engine starts
only in these positions. Adjustment is incorrect if the
engine starts in one but not both positions. If the
engine starts in any position other than Park or Neutral,
or if the engine will not start at all, the park/
neutral position switch may be faulty.

Gearshift Adjustment Procedure
(1) Shift transmission into Park.
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Release cable adjuster clamp (at transmission
end of cable) to unlock cable.
(4) Unsnap cable from cable mounting bracket on
transmission (Fig. 266).
(5) Slide cable eyelet off transmission shift lever.
(6) Verify transmission shift lever is in Park
detent by moving lever fully rearward. Last rearward
detent is Park position.
(7) Verify positive engagement of transmission
park lock by attempting to rotate propeller shaft.
Shaft will not rotate when park lock is engaged.
(8) Slide cable eyelt onto transmission shift lever.
(9) Snap shift cable adjuster into mounting
bracket on transmission.
(10) Lock shift cable by pressing cable adjuster
clamp down until it snaps into place.
(11) Lower vehicle and check engine starting.
Engine should start only in Park and Neutral.
Note: Sorry, diagrams didn't come through when copied.
