when i switched my transmission i also got a salvage nv231. from a 96 i think. my input spline count vs my spare trans did not match
anyways i wanted to share--
while on the ground i drained and filled it with Lucas ATF 2 quarts of it. it had barely a pint or so of coffee looking oil. it now shifts so smooth.
no matter the ATF you use, if you have a 30 year old XJ change the t case oil. i bet it needs it.
HACK N TAP was also done. yes not optimal set up but it works. i did notice you can cut the shaft too short like Raffi did in his YT vid. i kept mine longer ish 1 and 1/4 in i think to keep maximum spline contact. if you go shorter you get less spline contact.
i also got a 231 from a Liberty it is a 31 spline output. Iron Rock Offroad has a hack n tap kit for it . i keep as spare for now. if you guys snag a 231 from a liberty to get one in better shape / less miles/ less hard off road history be aware of the 31 splines and how to deal with it..
