Can anyone help me identify what kind of transfer case I have? Its missing the little round dog tag with all the info. The XJ is a 88 but the guy I bought it from put a 96 engine in it and I am not sure but I think the transmission and transfer case may be from the 96 too. The rear output seal is leaking and I am having a really hard time finding a replacement without knowing the right model. I thought I had a NP242 but I have tried two different seals for the NP242 and neither one will fit mine.

 

It's a 96 model. Could be either a 231 or 242. What is your shift pattern?

 

Its an automatic 1-2-3-D-N-R-P

 

transfer case shifting

 

be nice

 

I've been to 3 auto parts stores. When they look up 96 cherokee rear output seal, the seal is not right. My drive shaft is approximately 1 and 1/8". The hole for drive shaft on the seals they are giving me are too big and the outside diameter of the seal is too small.

 

o, this is nomination proof lol

 

what does the 4wd shifter say on it, that will make this a lot easier

 

Sorry I'm learning here...
2WD
4 part time
4 fulltime
N
4 LO
Is this what you meant?

 

yes, its a 242

 

Take a picture of the transfer case shifter boot, it will have the pattern on it. Like the thing that says 2wd N 4wd, etc.

 

Oops, I posted that a lil late.

 

it looks like its out of a wrangler with that stupid rubber boot on it, i could be wrong on that though

 

I thought I had a 1996 NP242 and thats what I told the guys at all three stores and the seals are still not fitting for some reason.

 

sounds like ther giving you rear yoke seal just ask for out put shaft seal for 242
