So I got a deal on a 93 Explorer A4ld 4x4 trans and transfer case and it just so happens I have an 89 Bronco 2 in need of a new trans.

My question is this: Will this 93 trans simply plug and play in my 89 B2?

Think you going to run into linkage issues. That transmission was designed for cable shift, with a few mods you can make the linkage work..

I have never heard anything about the shift linkages being different. What do I need to look into?

If you have a floor shift in your bronco it has a solid rod that connects the shifter to trans, the expo trans was designed for column shift with a cable. If you have a column shift you should be all good, if not what I did in my 88, I cut the top part of the linkage from the bronco trans and welded it to the top part of the expo trans..
