ScottJeep Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Feeling better about the 242 I just picked up from my conversion. Remember my XJ Limited had the Full Time option and it was awesome in the rain. Now I just have to find adapter from a 91' that has the adapter for either speedo cable or electronic pickup. From my research the 91 models were unique with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably pick one up locally at a auto recycler for less than it would cost to come get it. That way you can grab the tunnel mounted linkage, shift gate and bezel as well.

gogmorgo Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That and while the 231's shifter gate does have enough travel, the 242's shift pattern is really awkward in the 231 gate. Drove mine with the 231 gate for a couple weeks before I gave in and swapped in the shifter gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
