Sppedo gear?

Just got 33's for my jeep.
It's an 01 with 231 tcase. According to the chart I found here... http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htmI need a 30 tooth.
But can't find one for an XJ will this one work? It's the same tcase right?

If you need a 30-tooth for your 01 XJ (short shaft), get it at chryslerpartsdirect.com, p/n 52067630, $7.57 + shipping. This will fit your NP231 case.

Since a new thread is started on this. Are the 242s and the 231s interchangable? Mine is a '92 and www.allchrysler.com told me that the 35 tooth ones were discontinued/unavailable. That was after I waited 2 weeks and had to email them asking when my order would be shipped.

First question, yes. 242 and 231 are interchangable.

Second question, I just ordered and received (2 months ago) a 35 - 38 tooth long shaft for my 91, and received them all from chryslerpartsdirect.com. The 35 tooth p/n is 52068156. Have your local dealer do a search for availability on their dealer-wide net.

Thanks for the info! I am still waiting on a part from chryslerpartsdirect.com that I ordered in April. I can't get a real person to talk to me on the phone about that order and they will not return a call when prompted on their voice mail so, I do not want to order from them again.

I tried my local dealership, the service manager is a fairly decent friend. and got a quote of $140+ so, that is a dead end. The part number that I came up with is actually 52068157 but, you are probably correct.

I am going to run with the 35 tooth gear from http://www.performanceoffroadcenter.com/oscommerce/index.php?cPath=153 and give it shot.
