Since I am doing the delete, I used the old detent to plug this hole. As minor as it may be, this is two fold: i dont have to buy a new bolt, and i have a spare detent.

This is the stock WJ shift sensor. Because I am using the factort XJ one, I am installing it into the AMG housing. This is another reason why I swapped out the shift sector for the J case one. I mean they were exactly the same apart from the back end, but its just unnecessary weight. Easier transfer case shifts and better gas milages if you wanna call it that 😆

I also snapped a couple photos of the inside cleareances before I siliconed it together.

The drain plugs are annodosed aluminum with a built in magnet. The aluminum plug is nice because its easier to replace the plug than a transfer case housing.

Permatex instructions say to wait 90 minutes before applying torque. When I smeared it on all yhe surfaces with my finger, I made sure to go kinda light around the bolt holes. Like I said, silicone is just the keep the fluid in. So after 90 minutes I backed all the bolts out, cleaned whaterlver silicone residue off, applied Harbor Freight brand medium strength thread locker, and torqued to spec.

This is the silicone I chose to go with in case if anyone is wondering. I guess this is a chance for the internet to argue 😅

After cleaning with brake cleaner, I put a thin layer of silicone on the mating surface and spread it with my finger. After separating two transfer cases, I have a fear of breaking cast aluminum thats held together with an ungodly amount of glue. This stuff doesnt hold it all together, thats what the bolts are for, silicone is to keep the fluid inside 🤣

I got the mainshaft and chain thrown back in and snap ringed back in place. (I goofed up here and put the blue speedo gear on before the oil pump)

This is a better representaion of the how the J case shift assembly interacts with the AMG housing.

The left shift fork assembly is for HD case. The right one for the J case has the groove cut out of it is for the XJ indicator switch. I will be using the 242J shift sector and shift for assembly to communicate with my XJ dash lights, which is part of the reason for the 242AMG rear bearing housing. (Because I am using the factory XJ indicator switch I will have to do a WJ switch delete, more on that later)

They are exactly the same when it comes to the detent notches and grooves for the shift forkes. The only difference is the HD one had two large holes and has more materiel on the one side. This extra material is used for the WJ shift indicator.

Here are the shift sectors. The one that takes a bolt to attach the shifting linkage is the HD, and a nut is the J case.

This is the 242 rebuild torque spec in the 1996 XJ FSM. I'm rebuilding a 242 from a WJ from a different year, but im sure the torque specs are the same.

I tapped all holes on the transfer case to get rid of any residual silicone.

Tapping is pretty straight forward. I am cutting into aluminum so I'm not worried. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but my tap and die set is probably one of my most favorite tools!
