So I had a fellow jeeper give me a supposedly 97'+ 231 rear output shaft that was HnT, so I went to compare it to my previous purchase of a unknowingly -96' rear output(didn't know it was that before)
The machines areas for the seals are different indicating its not a early model output shaft.
Early model shaft on the right and "97'+ shaft" on the left.
Now I tried to search up some pics but I've gotten very little luck and more confusion than id like, looking at pics, the shaft on the left indicated that it is a 242 rear output shaft?!?! The upper half of the shaft doesn't have any spaces between the splines, it goes the full length unlike the 96' shaft that has the spaces/section of no spline. See where I'm confused?
Just trying to see if anyone has a spare legitimate 97'+ 231 output shaft that I can compare it too.
