smuth Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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!

JeepcoMJ Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Down and back is the correct way. 2nd pic down shows how to set them for what tooth count you have. -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue88Comanche Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have the old cable driven cable, will that still be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks adam. That is correct. Been awhile since I've done one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
