Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble finding the right part here and I need some help ! (I'm in Australia so that doesn't help...)
To give you a bit of context and history, I bought a TJ manual-6 speed 4.0L with 160 000kms about a year ago now, wasn't in great shape due to previous owner being careless with it. He was living near the beach and apparently liked to drive on it without ever washing the Jeep properly, so you guess what happened : rust! It didn't affect the body too much but every bolt is a pain in the ass to remove.
Anyway, I replaced a few things, namely the control arms, track bar, tie rods ends (yeah I was getting the death wobble), exhaust manifold gasket. And about 2 weeks ago I replaced my oil pump drive assembly (OPDA) after it started to make some noise. And right after that, I started having issues shifting gears. Engine off, I could shift into any gear/reverse but engine on, it became really hard. I finally managed to shift in 1st gear and went off for a drive, it was ok but not great.
I went away for work for a week, came back yesterday, it ran pretty good, not as good as before, 1st and 2nd gear sill a bit harder but I can drive it. So I'm thinking that my clutch master cylinder is on its way and I need to replace it, I found 2 Mopar parts but I don't see the difference between them:

Remember that being in Australia, my TJ is right-handed otherwise I guess I should gone for this one? : https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-clutch-actuator-hydraulic-control-52107652am
So do you guys know a US seller shipping Mopar (preferably) parts worldwide and what do you reckon about my issue, is it definitly the master cylinder or maybe something else I could try before buying a new part? And unless I'm missing something there's no link between changing the OPDA and clutch issue right? I think I'm just being unlucky !
Cheers guys !
