Anyone here ever put a Rubicon transfer case behind an automatic? I have a chance to buy a TJ rubicon transfer case. I have an 06 sport with a 4.0 and automatic. I'm wondering what is involved in mating the 2, or if it is even possible.

I'm pretty sure the Rubicon was offered with an automatic as well, at least the Unlimited model. Source: seen a LJ Rubicon Auto for sale recently.

It should be close to bolt in. Auto TJ Rubicon models have that case and that transmission. The driveshafts may be slightly different, however

This should be a relatively straightforward swap.

Out of curiosity, what's the asking price of that transfer case?

$600

Cool, I've been seeing asking prices from $1200-2000k and that is just stupid. $600 seems fair enough.

Won't the spline count be different?

TJ Rubicons came in automatics too.

Just ran into a simalar question myself I found an automatic TJR wrecked for parts. I have a manual. Would the transfercase and axles be the same. Im asuming the computer is different. Id like to have spares for axles and transfer case.
If I could afford it Id like to have a spare Jeep for my Jeep...lol
