Hi guys myself and a mate are building a zj ATM and are looking at swapping over the transfer case from full time 4wd back to part time 4wd Q is what case do you guy use over there
It's a 4ltr

As long as the 242 is from a 4 liter, you can use it. I've been told the V8 unit has a different input shaft spline count. Don't quote me on that, I'm just passing on hearsay.

The TJ unit does have a lower ratio in low range, however. Check the input shafts of both of them to see if they are the same.

Read the first post here in this thread, it'll tell you what you need to source from.

I cant answer your question specifically because you didn't provide enough info on what your working on.
