Zimbobwye,
In my 2000, automatic trans, I really only shift into 4-low when completely stopped, and in neutral. 4-high, I'll shift into at very low speeds, only. Early last winter, I blew the original np231, had Aamco replace it for me.. and that is the advice they gave me. 4-low won't let your trans shift past second gear, and it's really meant for getting the most torque on all four wheels.
Thanks for the info. I did find the answer a bit ago.
I am going wheeling tomorrow morning and didn't to screw things up.
Later,
RSWiser

Transfercase question regarding strength and durability...
What would the order be from strongest to weakest? I'm only referring to stock or factory units.
Plan on buying a spare to do a SYE on so when I do my lift I will have it ready to swap in.
Thanks

Im not a 100% if its just bolt in but if your planning an sye if they offer it for this case then any mods could be done in advance. But this page
http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...s/viewall.html
Gives you some ideas. The 231 can be hd modified for some money with some kits. There is a 4 to 1 low kit and a chain and gear upgrade kit.

My leafs are sagging, as they tend to start doing after twenty years. I want to replace them. DIFFICULTY: I don't want a lift. It's a 2wd and I have no need nor desire to lift my XJ. I've been looking at these Standard Duty replacement leafs over at Quadratec, think those will do the job?
