After installing a lift on my 1988 XJ, instead of buy a new SYE, I got another NP242 from a ‘98 with the SYE already installed from another forum member.
I’ve installed the case, bolted up the shafts, changed the fluid. Put it in gear... nothing. It doesn’t click like it’s going into gear when I try to go from neutral to either reverse or drive. Under power it’s like the TC is in neutral. When I try to put it in park it makes a light grinding noise so I’m leaving it in neutral.
I shifted the selector on the TC manually by hand to get it into what I believe is 2WD. Tried again with the same result. I then, from the cab, tried shifting into everything from part time to full time to neutral to lo. Nothing. I cannot for the life of me make it move.
Any thoughts? The videos and write ups I saw didn’t make putting the TC back in to be a big deal. Just slide it in after you’ve lined it up with the bolt holes and you’re good. Or so I thought.
