I am now the proud owner of a shot xfer case. np231 in my cherokee. my buddy has an 01 wrangler that is getting a new engine tranny and xfer case, can i swap his in to replace my broke one? still waiting on a reply if it is an np 231 or a 242.

 

what year is yours?

 

mine is a 92.

 

Wrangler T cases are clocked differently. Doesn't mean it won't work but it might require modifications

 

really? pulled one for a 99 and it bolted up just fine and when it was in the tj it didnt look clocked at all. weird

 

I think the difference might be in the tailhousing of the tranny so it might just be a direct swap

 

the wrangler tends to have a t-case that the drivers side drop is closer to the body, due to more clearence. idk if it is in the tranny or the t-case, but even if it was the case, a 1 inch t-case drop should fix this.

 

huh. I work on tj's all the time and never noticed this. learn new things everyday!

 

Interested to hear your results.

 

Yep. TJ cases are clocked way closer to flat than an XJ.

With a BFH to take care of the floor you can clock our tcase flat, too. Just gotta redrill holes and fill the old ones.

Therein a write up somewhere, I saved it for when I do my trans swap. I wanna clock mine flat.

 

yep, i had one on my old jeep and had to put a t-case drop on it cause the little tab that is molded into the case was hitting the floor. you could cut it off or just drop the case.

EDIT: *side note* with the YJ when they came with the Puke-alot 5 speed, the transmission mount where the t-case bolts on was actually different and the t-case was similar to the xj, but still not the same.
