gonna do a swap within the next week here on my transfer case. i was just wondering if im gonna need a new shifter assembly on it?

if anyone out there has some suggestions about the swap it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 242 to a 231 swap...

well my np 242 is getting stuck in 4wd and takes like 30 mins to get it out of 4wd. plus i have descently new 231 just waiting to be put in plus i have an AA SYE and a TW DRIVESHAFT coming soon.

I think your thread title is backwords. Sounds like you mean 242 to 231 swap.

Ok, this makes more sense. Carry on.

yea it is a little backwards i mean froma 242 to a 231

it can't be done. your best bet is to give me your xj with 242 in it for free and then you can buy another one with a 231. that's the best and easiest way

haha thats funny!! no way man ive got a sye and new rear driveshaft coming in the mail soon. so ill have an almost new transfer case with a new sye and rear driveshaft. im pretty pumped. but still tryin to figure things out!

did you look in the oem and mod tech forum? i saw a swap in there a while ago. 242's rock =]
and be careful mine started getting stuck a few 100 miles before it blew.

It should just be the shifter bezel but make sure there the same spline. I believe theres 21 and 23 splines and the spline change in 91 when they switched to the H.O. make sure its a jeep t-case there are other bolt pattern np231's out there.
