Ok a friend of mine has a 242 that is grinding. I have one laying around although I don't know what year. Are they compatable as far as spline size and all?

There is a differance in the splines.

Somewheres around 1991 they went from 21 to 23 spline.

23 spline change in '91 for the automatics I believe. Not sure about the manuals, shoot, not even sure you could get a 242 with a manual.
Don't forget, not all 242's are the same. For example, a Grand 242 has a different input depth than a XJ 242. The back half and the guts (minus the input shaft) should be the same for all of them.
If you're on the hunt for one, make sure you get what you're looking for. Otherwise you might end up way deep in trying to make 2 of them into 1 that works so you can drive 9 hours home from Tellico.
