BORDENCOMANCHE Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Not only have I now converted my original ba 10/5 to a 4X4, but now the cherokee 231 will fit on an function. I have discovered something that everybody needs to be aware of. THE 1988 xj/mj np 231 is NOT the same as the YJ 231. There in lays my promblem. My 4x4 conversion is complete. You guys are INTENSE!!! Thank you very very very much! :banana: :banana: :banana: :cheers:
Geonovast Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Close... the transfercase itself IS the same. The shifter plate is different. There's also a clocking difference between the XJ/MJ and YJ, but that's done with the holes in the rear of the transmission, not on the T-case.
jpnjim Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I hope you took a few pics for a write up. :D When I tell people that you can convert a 2wd Peugeot to 4wd by swapping the tail housing & cutting the shaft, I usually get that 'sure you can' look. :yes:
Geonovast Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I think it's more of a "why would you bother?" look. :yes:

jpnjim Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I think it's more of a "why would you bother?" look. :yes: When I converted the two I did (~1998), Peugots were selling for $1000 each at the junkyard, if you could find one. I bought a whole rolled YJ ~1997, just for the tranny. AX-15's weren't falling out of tree's like they are now, so the solution for a broken BA was another BA. :ack:

BORDENCOMANCHE Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Yep and it only took me an hour and about 5 dremel discs, a hammer and some common sense. (Which isn't too common). See I thought about smacking the plate on the rear before but I got intimidated by that big shaft, so I just left it and bought a new unit. You guys really saved my @$$. And sorry no pics, no camera, but I am sure that taking it apart again is in the very new future. Besides getting my hands on an ax-15 sounds pretty cool. (Bell)
