Check this right up also. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/t...-np242-685644/ The later case should go right in,but it all depends on the imput shaft. I drove my 97 GC around without the front drive line.

I was new to it also until the other day. Mine was from a 97 inline 6 GC. I have a 97 v8 GC. I learn more stuff every day off this forum.
