Hi all, im pretty new to forums and the jeep world. Recently I bought a 2001 XJ with an np242j transfercase. It started grinding very badly so I took it apart to check for damage. Turns out one of the gears had been ground down as well as where it sat on the rear output shaft. After scouring the internet to try find that same gear I found myself out of luck. Seems like everyone sells the gear next to it but not the one im after. I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction or at least identify what its called.

Gear on the left.

 

Mopar 83503536. Part #27. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/part...~83503536.html

Those kinds of sites dont always have the parts listed, and you may not get an email about that until a couple days after ordering, usually. There is a seller on ebay with same part, for $150. Just type 'Mopar 83503536' into the search.

 

for $150, I would check into a used tcase. I can get one at a pick and pull for $100

 

Like 4.3 said, junkyard t-cases are cheap. You could get a 231 to swap in. No full-time 4wd mode, lighter, stronger??
