I need a new Tcase in my 89 XJ. It has an NP242, I found a 242 out of a 97 Grand Cherokee. I have heard that the output shafts are different lengths. Will this t case work or should I pass and find the earlier 242? I tried asking this on Jeepforum but noone seemed to know what I was talking about.

Noone familiar with the difference in a NP242 and an NV242? Just wondering how big of an issue the differences in the case will be concerning the rear driveshaft.

NP changed their name to NV(no other differences).Its not the output shaft you have to worry about but the input shaft,the one you describe will not work(as is).

Your 89 has 21 splines on the transmission output shaft, while the 242 you bought has a 23 spline input. It will not work.
