so i have a 2002 liberty. and it has the 231 t case in it (2wd, 4H(part time) N, 4L) and i was wondering if its possible to swap it with the 242 (2wd, 4H(part time), 4H(full time), N, 4L.
Any thoughts?

Sure, why not? They are the same size right?

Skip that, is there a way to get the Rubicon TJ 4 to 1 T-case to fit?

I believe the 241-OR is a direct bolt in replacement for the 231.

With driveshaft modifications required and the shifter will be reversed so when the shifter is in the 4low position you are actually in 2wd and 2wd is actually 4low.

Don't bother with the 241OR, get a Tera-Low conversion kit! http://www.teraflex.biz/products/shop-b ... /low-range

It gives you 4:1 and a super heavy duty rear housing. Though they don't list it on the site it can even be used on the NV-242.

When all said and done will cost almost as much as a new RockTrac and the Teralow kit will self destruct if the engine RPM's exceed 2500rpm's in 4low,extremely noisy,and driveshaft mods will still be needed.

Although the terra-low may upgrade the output shaft housing, the 241OR has a ribbed case for your jeep's pleasure. That webbing is probably there to add strength to the case and probably does. Score another point for the OR.

it is possible and not terribly difficult. the main thing is to make sure your input and output spline counts match up. if you can find a t-case from an `02 or early `03 with the 45RFE tranny, you should have a direct swap (which is what I did). I also replaced the shifter handle/linkage so it works like it's stock. the only problem is that the full time light does not come on, need to have the dealer make a change to the BCM and don't feel like paying for the tech OTJ training!

I was wondering aboot this too. I already have a 04 v6 auto, and now have just got a 02 crd manual, and was wanting to switch transfer cases, so I have the 4hi parttime and 4hi fulltime options.. Just wondering if the cases will be interchangable betwix a manual box and an auto.

You will have major driveability issues with the selest trac and a manual trans,why the 2 where never offered with each other.

Oh well, Think I'll play it safe and just stick with I've got..
