Yeah I haven't forgotten about that and unfortunately I can't find a manual cross member anywhere. The Eagle I got the pedal assembly out of didn't have the transmission in it and I'm guessing the yard left the cross member on it when they pulled it.

So a slight update. I found out that the Jeep Wranglers in 93 used a 32RH (a999) transmission, so I'm going to return my XJ flexplate and get the one for the Wrangler and see if that mates up to the eagles torque converter. I will let you guys know how that goes when I'm able to do that.

Just adding that the starter should match the flex plate/flywheel. The offset of the flex plate/flywheel changed between the years.
'83 Eagle SX4. 92 4.0 fuel injected, T5, NP229, '01 Dana 35 with Detroit Truetrac 3.54 gears.

'87 Jeep Comanche. Renix 4.0 liter, AX15, NP242, HP Dana 30 and factory Dana 44 rear axle.

Both the XJ and the Wrangler used the same starter in 93.

So I was able to get the flexplate for the Jeep Wrangler today and  I can confirm that it does bolt up to the 998 torque converter.
