Hey guys, first time on the forum and first time considering heavy work on my GC. I've seen a couple of threads on WJ auto > manual swaps, but I suspect I'll have some more issues making it work with my stock jeep. It's the limited package with a 4.0 and 247 TC. Will I need to replace the T-case with the tranny or will it bolt back up properly? Thanks in advance.

PS: I know it's a complicated project, i'm comfortable with the risks and difficulties of modification and fabrication.

 

The NP247 is a garbage transfer case so I would change it out regardless.

 

Thanks for the reply. What exactly makes it bad? I admit that I have little knowledge in this area, but it's performed very well for me so far.

 

Amusingly, immediately after posting this, I come to find out that my wj has just eaten another front prop CV after <30,000 miles since replacement. Yay.

 

A CV style shaft or a cardan style. You can upgrade with a junkyard shaft and yoke for about 50-75 bucks
The pedals will be a large obstacle. Are you in an area that has emissions testing?
It will most likely have a constant check engine light with no input from the transmission.
Are you thinking an AX-15 or NV3550?

Clutches in it wear out, no 2wd and no locked 4x4 high.
