so i searched a bit and didn't find anything that really helped me because i'm not so sure what to do...
basically my girlfriend is onto her second lifted XJ (had a 98 she lifted). this one is an 89 wagoneer with SWEET RENIX and a 242 (purchased this one lifted). the 242 leaks from everywhere, i believe the linkage is possibly messed up and it is really in fulltime 4 when the console says 2wd. this is a new theory and i have not tested it.
anyway she went wheeling with some of out friends this weekend. went to do a STEEP hill climb i'm very familiar with and it just bogged, kept high RPMs but went nowhere just stayed in place halfway up. didn't spin tire or anything didn't roll back just held its ground and would not go any further.
before i had planned to pull it off and reseal it because it leaks more than a wrangler on go topless day in the rain. but now i'm rethinking that quick fix. the internals are probably wrecked due to the idiots beforehand wheeling with most likely NO ATF. luckily i work at a junkyard and have a briarwood with a 242... for 275 bucks vs our competitors. so scratch that. i have a school bus full of 231 and 242Js that are not in inventory and i can grab one dirt cheap. the 242s are from much newer G Cherokees though sooo thats out i suppose? as there is no 2wheel option in ANY GCs EVER correct?
SO DO I FIND SOME KIND OF REBUILD KIT FOR THE 242 OR 231 SWAP? 1,2,3.... ARGUE!
