tcase

[TheNerd]

... the more I think about it, the more apprehensive I get. I believe that the electronic mode select switch is located in a different position than the vacuum (front half of the case vs. back half). You will be able to plug the vacuum switch location, but I am unsure if there is a stock "hole" where the electronic switch would go on the older cases...

sorry for all the questions!! :-/

it SHOULD bolt up and have the right inputs, but, wrangler cases sit flatter. So you'd likely have to
Drop the t-case with a 1" drop
Clearance the floor with a BFH until it fits.

The good news is that you'd get more ground clearance, just a little more work to fit it in there.

Is the case different or are the mounting holes on the tranny different? I know XJ's are a 23 degree rotation, and wranglers are a 13 degree, but I always thought the difference was in the tranny holes not the transfer case.

I was under the assumption that it was the case.
something to investigate.

Yep I agree, when i had to replace my Np231, I could only get a 96 tcase, because they were made specifically different for that year. I couldn't use anything prior than 96.
Good Luck,

That's interesting. What is it that makes the 96 231 different than the 97?
Both have 23 spline input and sealed output.
The switch connector may be incompatible, but that would be a simple splice job.

wrangler np231's will work fine, as long as they are the same spline. I had mine taken from a 2000 TJ and it bolted right in and wokred great untill now., lol
