tulsa,Ok
i have wheeled the piss out of my xj in the last 2 years i have owned it so here are the spec's;88 xj 4 dr,i-6 AW4 np242 it has the 2wd,4hiPT,4hiFt,N,4lowPT so i thinks it the np242,a 4.5 RE lift and 6in cusom rear.the case has fuid and no metal shavings.I put the TC in 4L PT and it acts like its still it 2wd when crawling,so i put it in 4Hi FT and it will crawl,then i can shift back to 4L PT and it works.The other thing its doing is that went it is crawling up a ledge it will start to crawl it and then out of no were bind up and then POP real loud and act like its it 2wd again.

I think it has something to do with the gear mesh or the chain streched.
What is everyones idea on this.

Please help a wanting to learn 18YO

The chain can stretch to the point where it slaps the inside of the TC and wear a hole in it, can also break and take the case out that way. If yours is popping it sounds like it has stretched, I'd look in to it real soon.
