Have not pulled the case out yet to determine what input shaft length is there. Have heard that it could be short/medium/or long on the input shaft length. I came across a 231 that has a short input shaft for a good deal.

What would happen if I used the 231 with the short input shaft and I find out that the one that came out was a medium or long? Any problems in using the shorter input? I don't want the first t-case I tear into be the one on my daily driver......

Jeep info:
1993 ZJ Limited 5.2, 46RH

Thanks,

Understand - I keep seeing where it says to swap if not the same. Just wondered why - have not seen that part yet. I have an XJ that was setup with a TH350 and it did not matter what the length of the input shaft was. There was so much room in there that it was not going to hit anything anyways.

Since I have not had a stock setup apart yet I was just curious as to the importance of the 'same' length. I could see where you would not want to put a long on in place of a short one - clearance issuse and all.

Thanks,

Ok, got ya there - understand the long in place of the short. Just did not konw exactly why a short could not go in place of the long. Like I said - what I have to compare to it would not have mattered what went in - short or long.

Thanks for the info,
