will it fit ???
SORRY everyone....my bad !!! It is NOT a 87 ...it is a 91 cherokee....
Need help here....asap !! thanx in advamce....have a 95 cherokee auto....and a 91 cherokee 5 spd...both have 231 J tcases....the 91 has a 2 wire plug (vac I assume) and the 95 has a 3 wire....Do I just have to swap the plugs....both are open cooling sys....so they should both be 23 spline right ???? Need all the advice/expertise I can get.....new to the jeep world....will the tcase out of the 87 fit in the 95 without major work ????? I am in a bind here and pressed for time !!

In a nutshell, here's how transfer case interchangeability breaks down:
Behind an ax4: short shaft input, 21 spline
Behind an ax5: short shaft input, 21 spline
Behind an aw4 (1990 and prior): short shaft input, 21 spline
Behind an aw4 (1991 and after): medium shaft imput, 23 spline
Behind an ax15 (1994 and prior): short shaft input, 23 spline
Behind an ax15 (1995 and after): long shaft input, 23 spline
That covers the vast majority of transmission and np231 combinations that were natively found in XJs.
Best of luck, man.

Cant bolt on a 80's tcase to a 95 transmission. Different spline count on the input. You want a tcase from 92-01 for your 95
And yes the AX15 is shorter than the AW4 so the driveshafts are different lengths, but can be overcome by finding an auto XJ with a d35 and using it in a AX15 XJ with a 8.25. Thats what i did with my 4x4 conversion
Edit: You can take the internals of the 88 case and put it in the 95 if thats the problem
