Leave the vacuum switch in place to plug the hole, put caps on the vacuum nipples on the switch, and call it good.

so i can swap a 231 j from 91 to my 2000

I took linkage off and manually put it in each gear on transfer case but grind is all she does so it's fu€kd I assume my question is what all year models will bolt up and work?

242s arent had cases but considering your knowledge level I'd stick with a 231

FWIW they used the 242(hd) in the HMMWV. You know the "Hummvee" Its plenty strong enough for a XJ.
