Can I swap the speedo gear/sensor from an 87 into a 99 NP231


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

about to start the ba10 to AX15 swap, and I grabbed a NP231 tcase out of a 99 XJ, so it has the electronic VSS rather than the mechanical speedo cable in my 87...can I just swap the speedo gear and all the speedo stuff from my 87 tcase into my 99?

 

or if I have to, I should be able to just swap the entire tail housing from the 87 onto the 99 (which I don't want to do, cause I want to have the option of doing the RE hack n tap sye in the future...)

 

thanks!

once my shoulder heals (dislocated snowboarding) I'll get pics and a build thread goin!

the "sensor" has numbers on it which indicate where it should be clocked. they are offset to accomodate the different gear diameters. look at your tooth count (it's stamped on the speedo gear), then look at the sensor. the mark next to the appropriate number should get centered on the bolt of the clamp that holds it down. slide it in, call it good.

 

 

I always install them with the offset side closer to the ground, then turn them appropriately.

so, find the tooth count on the speedo gear, find the maching number on the sender (the part with the cable) and centre that with the bolt that holds it in. sounds easy enough. I shall report back tomorrow :wrench: :D
