94 NP231 trans case in 96 jeep- slip yoke??

Ok, obviously the 96 has a different style slip yoke. I have a 94 trans case. as I noted in the other thread I was considering switching to the old style ATF lubed splines anyway, so if that's my only option I'll get the old style driveshaft...

question though- can i just bolt the tail section (or something?) from my 96 trans case to the 94 and use my 96 driveshaft?

just for reference- this is an automatic transmission, and i have no interest in installing a lift or SYE in the near future. just need an economical machine to get me to school and work.

The rear support bearing may be in a different place on the shaft.
It certainly doesn't have an area for the seal to ride on since it wasn't needed on the pre 96 cases.

I strongly suspect that you not only have to change the rear bearing support, but the internal shaft also.
