1994 Cherokee Sport - What transfer case do I have?
Hello, I just bought a 94 Jeep Cherokee Sport - Has the 4.0, and automatic trans. I need to know what transfer case this has, and what years/vehicles I can get a replacement from. I see there are different spline counts and other differences for different engines, and transmissions.
Anything specific I need to look for to make sure the replacement is the right one? This TC blew up, and there isnt enough left to identify it. Thanks!

Look at your shifter.
NP242 Selec-Trac:
2WD (Sends all power to rear wheels)
4WD High, full-time (Sends power to all wheels)
4WD High, part-time (Locks both front and rear driveshafts for increased traction)
NEUTRAL (Allows vehicle to be towed)
4WD Low, part-time (Doubles the transfer case gear ration for severe road conditions and low-speed pulling power)
NP231 Comman-Trac will only have 2WD, 4HI, N, 4LO
I found this on another site (talking about a 231), but I don't know if it's accurate:

Just a heads up, if you go the used case route. You will need a case from a 1992 or newer Cherokee. In 1992, Jeep/Chrysler went to a 23 spline input on the automatics. Other than the pre 91/ post 91 split, the year wont matter. Make sure you get a case from a part time 4wd Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, or Wrangler, and not a Full Time 4wd NV242. Easiest way to tell is by looking at the 4wd shifter. If it says 2HI/N/4HI/4LO, you're golden.
