Main shaft where the speedo gear is would mean you had some front wheel drive, but no rear wheel drive. If you've only got rear wheel drive in 4 low, you probably toasted the planetary and the chain.

Maybe I will tear it out tomorrow. So your thinking it's just the main shaft that went out.

I have a 242, Ben. It's from a 93 so I don't know if it will work.

All depends on the length of the input shaft. There are 3 different lengths on the snout of the input shaft. PM incoming
if the planets are good in yours you just mash the rear half of his case to the front half of your case and bolt it in.
BTDT.
more tech in the important thread.
97 radio wiring. The heavy guage wire that comes out seperately from the radio connectors, is that a ground? it sure looks like it ought to be, but it was hooked to the amp power from the radio. Funny, I saw no amp....
Why is it so hard for people to install a stereo and not destroy the chassis side harness?
Deleting the radio gave me back my cluster and signals. The blower motor actually turns off with the key now, so it was obviously drawing power through the radio some how and the IOD fuse. Fawesome. I'm hoping that all the mess is just a really bad radio install done by meth heads. I may even make the soundbar speakers work. I know, it's a novel idea to wire a radio and have all the speakers work. Absolutely amazing.
the crazy thing?
there is a factory adapter in that wire nutted mess.
apparently they couldn't figure out that you can go right to JVCs website and get the instructions for the radio that have the color codes, or butt connectors. Those are a tough nut to crack.
I'm gonna go with "secondhand" radio.

Yea you should have those two 7-pin connectors, (black and grey), and then a separate (black) wire that is ground. From the factory it has a female spade connector on it that slips over a terminal on the factory radio. That should be the case regardless of whether you have the factory amp. My 97 has the amp and it gets its 12V from one of the wires in the 7-pin connectors.
I've had my more then fair share of f'ed up installs to clean up on cars we sell. Sadly half the cars we sell have the loom so Hacked and screwed with its not worth fixing on my end.
I get some in like your jeep, stuff that's not on the same circuit acting up because of a hacked install, best are the ones that tie into the ignition to run the radio and you get a car that dies when hitting a bump do to the dozens of scotch locks tapped into everything just to run a stupid radio.

I vaguely recall that now.
I will bond this thing to the radio when it gets fixed properly. There's a threaded hole in the back of it, so I'll slap a ring terminal on it and screw it down.
tonight I just wanted the cluster and turn signals back.
Why they tied the amp power from the head unit to a ground I'll never know. it even says on a big sticker on the wire not to tie it to ground, and that it wasn't for the radios 12V power.
It's not even a completely crap head unit. it's a newish JVC with bluetooth and front/rear aux.

Ben I wouldn't split cases...
Just get another from the junk yard. They are a dime a dozen and don't go bad very often.

Anybody know if a 242 tcase out of an 03 wj will bolt into a 2000 xj? I know most zj transfer cases will but not sure about the wj.

Easy. Aaron puts it in the back of his Suby and drives it to TN
It will give him an excuse to come drive the dragon
