Drahcir495 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I am going to rebuild my NP231 before I do the AX15 swap, since I will have to exchange the input shaft anyway. While I have the transfercase apart, should I go ahead and get a regular lenght SYE kit? - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The only reason not to is the cost. But if you can afford a heavy-duty SYE kit plus a new driveshaft, then by all means go for it. :D It's a good upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Definitley...if you have the money, go for it. The SYE...especailly the HD SYE, is worth the money any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I thought it might be a good idea, but I did not know that a new driveshaft was needed? But for around what Motion is selling them for, it should be worth it. How much more could the driveshaft be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 More than a dollar, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ20 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I bought this fixed yoke kit special for $199 shipped, got it in a couple days. It comes with a cv yoke and you need a cv style drive shaft and pinion pointed straight at it. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=613060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpm4x4 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 mine was $169 from Performance off road center, and it is the same as the AA one. There are very few companies actually "making" a sye kit, most of them are reboxed. (Mine was made in China or Japan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The HD ones are so cheap now that's there's NO EXCUSE for getting a POS Hack'n'crap one. A driveshaft costs a bit. You can get a front driveshaft retubed/lengthened to get the job done. That's what mine is at least. I spent $120 on the retube, plus I provided a boneyard core ($30). Your prices will vary.

carnuck Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was going to put a NP208J in mine with a thick clocking ring (it's already fixed yoke and much stronger than a 231) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
