deziped Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just a ? on an 89 242J front output shaft size. The one I'm about to put in the MJ has a dia of approx 1.380". The 231 has approx a 1.010 shaft, about a 1/4" diff. They require seals with a considerable difference in outside dia. Is this normal? The reason I ask is because I can't locate a seal that is about a 2.735 outside dia. NAPA couldn't find one & every parts dealer I found on the internet list all seals & yokes as fitting the 231/242. I guess they trying to say theres only one size & I ain't got it. Weird the input & rear ouput shafts are identical to the 231. What have I got here?.

Oizarod115 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 tried the mopar dealer? or find the exact diameters and order it from a dorman catalog, usually carquest stores will carry anything dorman has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Try rockauto.com http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php They have several listed. You may need to call them to make sure which is which as not many of them have dia. listed. I did notice they talk about 242 1st design so that may have something to do with your problem of finding the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the tip on rockauto. They have what I need (BCA/National seal) for the shaft & yoke on my 242 front output. Strange other dealers don't seem to stock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
