Default NV3550 Tranny Question

I'd like to upgrade my 231 to a 4:1 with the TeraFlex TeraLow 231, but both on frank's site(http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...-Transfer-Case), and TeraFlex's site, it doesn't say anything for '91+ manual tranny compatibility. Just curious if anyone has used this on either the '91-'99 AX-15 or the NV3550, which is what I have in my '01. I'd love to save up for this, instead of possibly a full replacement 231 with a 4:1 ratio. I'm even open to other kits, if there are any that would work with the NV3550. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Hmmm guess my 01 with HST shy of 200k is a fluke .
I even looked around under the valve cover for a casting # all I found was TUPY or something ?

HP swap isn't hard.

0331 head won't be a big deal if the cooling system is fine.

Op, don't have any help on the matter but try looking for the 241OR case.

Yeah, swapping the LP for a HP is easier than swapping in a 5 speed. The possible head issue is just a pain to have to worry about. Good luck finding a 241OR for less than $1K.

Seen them for $800 a few times with a short drive. Better piece of mind than the Tera low IMO.

I guess I never thought of trying to find one of those. I will look into that as an option as well. Thanks! I am sure it will be near impossible to find here in CO, heh.

While the 241OR is a sexy option, I think the teraflex teralow kit will probably be my best bet in the long run for the ratio I'd like, for what I can find and afford.
