JGStil's XJ Transfer Case Questions

[Fred]

John's (JGStil's) has an 84 XJ with the 2.8L V6. It has a NP207 - "Command-Trac" part-time only - 2.61:1 ratio low range - used 84-87
The Shifter feels like the linkage is not hooked and the 4wd does not engage.

What should we be looking at for this to get it to at least engage?

Would a better TCase bolt up to this jeep and what would that TCase be?

Time to crack the case and have a look-see.
An NP231 with the correct intput gear would be the way ro go.

fred I have a 207 now since I am putting the 231 in my jeep But no linkage have to save that for myself after selling the one that was on 231 not knowing I might need it lol ...

[Fred]

send JGStil a PM and see if you guys can work something out. I don't know if the TCase is bad, if a Vacume line is bad, or if it is because of the linkage. I am aiming toward a vacume line

i would crawl under it and try to run the linkage by hand. can you feel the detents with the shifts? i dont believe its a CAD axle so there shouldnt be a issue there.

[Fred]

no the shifter moves freely but the only thing the shifter does is 4lo or 4hi there is a switch on the console that activate 2 WD or 4WD.

i have most of a 231 if your interested in the rest of the parts to put one in. i dont have the rear case, and output shaft.

I'll let John know to look over here. The rear half and output shaft can be found easy enough
