I did some searching and found some answers but I still have a question or two.
I have a mostly stock '94 XJ sport with automatic 4.0l. The PO was running three different sizes of tires on the truck and damaged the transfer case. At least I think it is the transfer case, when I engage 4wd it makes a noise like a gear has lost a tooth, I will probably pull the diff cover on the front axle to just make sure it is not the diff.
I found a really cheap transmission and transfer case out of a 98 XJ and I'm curious if I should pick it up and put it in my XJ.
I've seen that the input splines are the same so that is good. The output on the 98 has the difference of having the seal not on the slip yoke which is good since eventually I want to put a hack and tap SYE in.
My concern is that I believe the 98 will have the electronic signal to engage and mine will have the vacuum signal. I'm not concerned about the dash light but the signal also goes to the axle to tell the axle to engage right? Is this something simple to swap?
Also right now I only plan to swap the transfer case and leave the trans sit in the garage as a backup.
Thanks for an advice.
