2001 XJ 4x4 Inline 6 with no A.B.S. & no A.D.D.
Problem with my 231J T-Case
I seam to have rattling and gears grinding problem with my 231J T-Case. Maybe The chain, shift forks or Z-gate.
So soon I will be pulling the thing out from under my XJ so a can take it apart to see what all the noise is about. And What new parts I need to order so I can fix it.
After I remove the 231J I Will post more info about the rattling and gears grinding problem. But right now I need a big band-ad. This is my day-2-day driver So with my 231J is out for repairs. I need too swap in a empery T-case or maybe flip over to a 2WD tail housing.
If I go for a temporally 231J T-case of what years can bolt right up and give power to both sets of wheels. Speedo working or not ! I fond it hard to think any 1988~2006 231J will work in a 2001. I know from my old 91 XJ had A.D.D. lines that run thou the tail housing so I'm thinking this one will not work.
And if I go 2WD will any 2WD XJ tail housing bolt right in. And will I need the 2WD drive shaft also? Or can my rear 4WD drive shaft work. Speedo working or not !
Most likely I'm going for the cheapest of the two. Save my money for new parts to fix my 231J.
Yes I can get a used 99~01 231J but it may not be any better than my 231J. This way I can fix and upgrade my 231J with needed parts and upgrade part like Low_2WD along with a wider chain and 6 planets. And maybe a SYE kits.
HOWEVER if I Find A 2000~01 or newer 231J at a low cost I may just up-grade it.
