Already have read that. So my question is, since my transfer case has an electricsl vss speed sensor, and the older tcase im putting in it is mechanically speed read. How would i go about speedometor readings?

I'm no expert on these, but I would think that's a no-go.

All the 231s with VSS I've seen have a VSS device that fits in the old mechanical hole, so you just swap it over.

As far as I know, the bigger concern is getting the same spline count and input shaft length.

There are great pictures of how the VSS speed sender goes in here:

The mechanical setup looks identical from the retainer clip to the gear.

Yes, but you'll need to tear down the case.

Im getting the t case for 40 bucks. So whatever i have to do to it to make it work seems to be well worth it to me.
