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.

didn't think it was even possible to re gear the 231 unless someone got their hands on some top secret stuff

Then you'd be wrong, and it's not even top secret.

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??

Input- where the trans connects to tc

Output- where drive shaft leaves tc

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

Great! I will look at the TC when I get off work in the morning. What's the benefits of this? And if it is would there be any upgrades to the tranny?

Who says the po lied to the op.
My guess is that he was full of it to make it sound better.

putting in a teraflex isn't simply regearing the transfer case but completely modifying the case. And although it does re gear it, it's not something that would go un noticed by someone with ey
