Just a quick question after searching through 15 pages and not finding quite what I wanted:
My 89 XJ's NP242 is popping like crazy now in 4wd, especially when it's in reverse. I messed with the linkage but it's not really getting any better so I'm ready to swap in a NP231 as soon as possible.
I'm pretty sure that all 87-90 XJ's had 21 spline inputs on the transfercases but I'm looking for a second opinion. Given that the input splines are the same, is it a direct bolt in? What else off the donor will I need? Will I need the shift linkage? I heard someone mention that the shift gate is different but shouldn't it still fit?
