AW4: from 21 to 23 spline - what is involved?

Just an opinion but the input for the transfer would likely be much easier to change. 21 spline or 23 spline the tranny output to transfer input has rarely given any trouble that I'm familiar with.

change the t-case input, not the tranny output.

ran 36s w/ a heavy foot on a 21 spline output. made a trasnfer case explode but never so much as slightly deformed the output splines on the tranny

What would be necessary to change the AW4 in my 1990 XJ from 21 spline to a 23 spline output shaft? Do I have to buy new parts? If so, are there any differences in the model years?

TIA!

Replacing the transmission would be required unless you can overhaul one. Used or rebuilt.

Yes, just don't mix 87-94 with 95-01.
