I have an 93 ZJ with the 249.... Need to know if an 89 XJ's 242 will work in mine and I am guessing that the 242 is a step up? What additionals will I need? Does it have the same linkage? Thanks guys

check the 231 FAQ for info on the gear cut year change, but I'm pretty sure you're right and the 242 from an 89 will work.

242 is a huge step up, the stock shifter tab on the t-case should work and nothing fancy is required to do the swap. You may have to have your rear driveshaft shortened/lengthened but that's about it....
