How to tell if TC is regeared...HELP!!
I have a np231 that has supposedly been regeared...before I sell it how can tell if this has been done so I can accurately describe it to the buyer? As always thanks.

Tera Low makes a 4:1 Planetary gear set, but its about $1200 new. I would assume you would have paid more when you bought the jeep if it had been regeared.

Is it out of the jeep? if so put it in 4 low and turn the front input. Count how many times the front input rotates before the output rotates once.

Yes its still in the jeep. Dumb question, but I have never dealt with these things, I am assuming that the front input is where the DS leaves the TC and the output is entering the front diff??

If the front half of the case looks like this then it's been regeared.
