egghead Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 OK guys so I'm wrapping up my 4x4 swap Just in time for snow... I've encountered an issue. The AX15 and 231 Tcase is out of a YJ that is in my MJ. Number one the front output is different, and number two the front driveshaft I have is the wrong length. (It's from an auto xj) by swapping the output flange will I be OK with the auto driveshaft or will I need another?
87MJTIM Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 What year was the YJ you got the tcase from? The output shafts changed at some point in Jeep history. As for the front drive shaft, the lengths are different between a manual and auto trans. An AW4 is longer than an AX15. That means a DS from an auto will be too long for your manual. Sorry.
egghead Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 It is an early 90s, so it has the standard u-joint yoke not the DC joint.
egghead Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 What's the difference between a YJ 231 front output yoke and an xj yoke? Besides 30$ difference ?
egghead Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 TJ yoke not YJ... they are both 23 spline
