i dont know what transfer case i have
i looked under my jeep today and saw the first numbers on my transfer case were 242. but my shifter has only 2hi n 4hi 4lo. i just bought the jeep a month ago and was wondering if i had a transfer case that didnt come on the jeep originally. the 4wd works kinda crazy, it grinds on either 4hi or 4lo depending on how it feels. just wondering if i need a new shifter guide is all or if i need to swap out the whole case.
thanks guys
thanks guys

ok, well the 242 is a little bigger then the 231, also it has 5 shifter positions instead of 4. so just shift your lever and see how many spots it has that go forward (should be 4 forward spots if it is a 242)

it's an older cherokee, the dash doesn't have a 4wd light i don't think. i figured it would be a 242 if it said so too but it's just screwed on the case. im wondering if some idiot thought that would be enough to change the case to a 242. after shifting through all the gears im pretty sure it's a 231. might need to buy a rebuilt case though

The po might have swapped the box and shifter but not the cover, or just the box and not the shifter/cover. the only real way to know is to pop it open if you suspect the tag has been replaced.

No, that is the 231 shift pattern, the 242 pattern is 2hi, 4 part time, 4 full time, N, 4lo
