From what others have posted, it "might" work with some mods to the shaft. Why not just get a used t-case from the JY?

Yes, if you swap the input shaft it will work. However, the '89 features a conventional mechanical (cable) drive speedometer output and the '98 features a three-wire, digital square wave Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). I'd imagine they are swappable, but I'm not sure.

What is wrong with the the '89 t-case?
