NP242 Rebuild Kit
I have a 2000 Jeep XJ Classic with the np242. I’m having trouble finding a good rebuild kit (with chain) any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you.

You won't find one with a chain. Buy it separate; no big deal...
You'll also be hard pressed to find a good rebuild kit. I bought mid-level, I thought, and the bearings were significantly rougher than the Timken or SKF bearings I used instead. I also got Timken seals, so in the end, all I used from the kit was shifter pads and the needle bearings. If you can find a SKF or Timken kit, then it would be good, but anything less than that and you'll get better quality sourcing the parts separately. It appears the only sell one now for the 231...
