wow, awsome man. I got with him and he is going to let it go for me on the cheap.

I love this club

I was very much in the poop shoot this morning looking at a 3" hole in my TC

Thanks for the help finding it.

I am in the same boat except mine blew completely in half and the only np231 I found without a sye is in Lake Havasu:bawl:

Just sent a 87 waggy w/4.0, 242 and tranny, running. Stripped everything else off it and needed room for my Country parts car (near perfect cond) and my MJ that has been sitting since I got it 2 years ago. If i had it removed I would have let it go for zip just to get it out of my hair.

kemo, do a search on vjc, it seems like there were some 231's for sale a while back that might still be avl. It seems like Joe West had one, it's just that I found one cheaper.

We have a guy up here in flagstaff who has a couple in his yard

FLAGXJ · Mar 10, 2008

I have one. I am up in flagstaff but will be in Mesa all day tomorrow. It is out of an 89 xj with an auto tranny (don't know if there are different spline counts on a 242). If you need it, I can throw it in the truck and bring it down with me. let me know. I'll be leaving at about 430 am. my phone number is 928-607-7753. give me a call if you are interested. I'll also check this post before I leave in the morning.

There are two spline counts on a 242 (just like 231) 21 spline up through 89-90, and 23 spline 89-90 & newer... somewhere into the 90s, Jeep went from a mechanical speedo drive (on the tailcone) to electrical. Pretty sure all 242s had an electric plug/connector for the 4WD dash light.

Yep correct and the break was 90-91 same as the 231. I have a 90 242 in the XJ now and its 21 spline

I never new that. So, I went out and stabed the driveshaft in the one I got yesterday evening and it fit. Wow, that could have sucked

The goal for today (monday) is to get the old one out and get the new one in. Lucky for me the neighbor used to be a full mechanic and specialized in ring and pinions! Talk about some luck.
Needless to say I will have a decent set of 3.55 gears, front HPD30 for anyone after this evening.
