can anyone tell me what transfer case i need for a 1995 chero sport 4.0 highoutput 5 speed regards jimmy

 

What does your selector look like in order.

 

do you meen shift pattern or to lock in 4 wheel drive regards jimmy

 

your tcase shifter what is the order. Example:2hi-4hi-n-4lo

 

There is a small round tag on the rear of the T-case, it will either say NP242 0r NP 231j. That would be the hard way to identify it. What is wrong with yours? ...Tj

ok top to bottom it goes as follows 2h 4h n 4l as to what it is doing is if you put it in 4 wheel it clunks when you drive off when i drive the jeep in 2 wheel it makes a clicking sound kinda like the sound a bad cv joint makes after about 30 miles a hour it goes away or it seems to anyway could be the wind masking it also speedo does not work or tach or fuel gauge on the good side has low mileage runs strong no rust i live in upstate new york jeep came from m.d. this is my first jeep i am very impressed with motor runs smooth pulls strong i have already started upgrades i guy down the road has a 231 t case he wants 200.00 for it if thats the one i need is that a fare price thanx for all your help regards jimmy

 

Okay... you are describing a handful of different problems...

The clicking noise is likely a bad u-joint. They make a clicking noise at first as they go bad. Does it get worse turning one direction or the other???

When you say the 4wd clunks when you take off in 4wd..Does it clunk once and then its fine.. or does it continue to do it???

From your description of the shifter handle you have an NP 231.

If you have a single clunk, do two things... A. Check the fluid in the transfer case. Its ATF, so it should be a nice red color. If its not change it. The correct fluid level is that it should be just at the bottom of the fill plug.

B. Check the operation of the shift linkage. Many times if the Jeep hasn't been used the linkage will bind and you won't quite have it engaged completely in 4wd and it will clunk as it goes in.

If you do go to get another T-case, make sure its the correct NP-231. Wranglers and Dakotas used them also, but neither is a bolt in replacement for the Cherokee. Also the early model Cherokees used a 21 spline input, whereas yours will have a 23 spline.

 

thanx for info once i put in new t case i believe my speedo will start working again the clicking sound is definatly coming from the t case once i get the 4 wheel drive up and running i am gonna ad some goodies to the jeep as i said earlier i am very impressed with its prefomace thanx again regards jimmy
