I bought an 89 YJ it need a little bit of work. I had to tighten up the steering column so we had to take the steering wheel apart. I can't seem to get the steering wheel back together right. The lights and turning signal to sit right. So the ignition wouldn't go in. My friend gave me a different steering column that I can just put in but it is a manual I have an automatic. Can I use and manual steering column in a automatic?
