Transfer case??

Reason. Someone pulled the casing drain bolt and we didnt know it. He was getting off the interstate and it went t pieces.

Okay so ive been reading and reading and I seem to be getting more and more confused.

Essentially im trying not to spend $500 on a transfer case.

It needs to be a np231j. Correct?

Long shaft as it is a manual? But im seeing transfer cases that go to a.t. & m.t.???

Does the fact of that this is the sport edition affect anything??

Does the assembly number matter as I am seeing a few specifically listed to this Assembly# with a manual trans.

And also with an auto??

Kinda lost here. Not used to having to fool with a 4x4 vehicle? ?

As I mentioned before, all Jeep Wrangler TJ NP 231 cases from the factory are the same except for the input gear. The automatic has a different input gear from the factory than the manual. But that is the only difference whatsoever. Other than that, the transfer cases are the same.

Input gears are a very simple swap as long as you remember one thing. Around 1995 or 1996 (about same time New Process became New Venture) they changed the tooth profile on the planetary gears, the ring in the case half, the planets in the cage, and the sun on the input gear.

So what I am saying, is that it doesn't matter what transfer case you buy, as long as it came from a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, and as long as it's not a Rubicon transfer case (which is a NV 241).

The worst you'd have to do is swap the input gear if you bought a transfer case from a manual transmission model, but that's easy.

As for bent driveshafts, if the transfer case locked up and grenaded, then yeah, I would bet your driveshaft is done for. Post a picture, it will be pretty easy for us to tell!
 
I'm seeing auto and manual, 6L, two different threads, etc. Please answer these few questions for us to help you...

What year is your Wrangler:

What engine (two choices, 4 cylinder or 6 Cylinder):

What type of Transmission does it have (again, two choices, Stick or Auto):

Finally, let us know if it is a Rubicon (I think you said Sport, but just checking)...

The answers to those questions will help immensely. I've read both of your posts multiple times and I'm confused. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I want to help, but I need to know FOR SURE what you have there before I can.
