Ok, I put a 5 spd in my XJ that formerly had a 242 tcase and the auto tranny. The spools won't line up with the five spd so I swapped in a 231 tcase, I shouldn't run into anything since my front axle is a non-disco should I?

Noproblem. The factory stopped using the disconnect with the 231 in 1991 anyway. One less thing to go wrong.

Thanks, I figured it'd be ok but I wanted to make sure before I got everything bolted up. Yeah, just like you said one less thing to go wrong.
