The housings in the way they mount up because of the bell housings/trans. I understand you can take the guts out of one and transfer them in the other. Haven’t tried it but I’ve heard others who claim they did.
Done that plenty of times with other starters. Your only changing the nose cone not the guts. Might be a good option if you can at least find one for an automatic.

The linkage is not the issue as I've looked and observed while some put it throgh the gears. Went I put it in 4-wheel low, I can tell it works as I can only go so fast. When in 4-wheel high, I can go faster but one wheel spins in the front and only one wheel spins in the rear. Never all four spin. I no longer trust it to go through what it used to go through.
I was told by Besser's that it is a clutch that went out? I'm confused as to that idea.
Thanks so much for your input.
Sir I hate to be the Bearer of bad news but all stock Roxors only pull with one wheel in front and one wheel in back. This is the same with any normal jeep except a Rubicon. To get all 4 wheels spinning you need Lockers.

I agree...there's nothing wrong with his Rox. Nearly all 4x4 vehicles behave like that if not equipped with locking diffs.

I cannot say for sure but normally the difference is in depth of the nose cone. The bolt pattern should be the same but the gear will not engage properly with the ring gear on the flywheel

I guess that is why my starter isn’t working any longer. Brushes are completely gone.

You know, I bet a dollar to a donut that the brushes in that Bosch starter, are the same across the board, and if you did a little searching, you'll find them online. I did a quick search just from what I could read off your starter and I bet this brush set will work. If not, I know the brushes will, so just take them off this one and install them on your brush housing. I used to rebuild starters and alternators all the time, and brushes are brushes across the board, and your housing and springs look fine.

I will say this though, if you can call and ask around if anyone has a "GROWLER" to check for shorts in the armature, do that before ordering parts, because if your armature is shorted, which rarely happens, then there's no sense in going any further. Clean up your commutator with fine emery paper, add a little high temp lube to the bushings and call it good.
