my transfercase literaly blew up

[freg]

trans case literally blew up. mine is a 05 tj nothin fancy but real nice...26k drivin down the highway and the trans case explodes. I think i know why, and its just out warranty. but that isnt y im posting this... how far back can i go to get a tans case,231 auto and what is the difference in the tj years. I understand they had a trans Case switch around 2000?

Call John at Johns 4x4 in Billings [417-744-2721]. He more than likely will have one.

Your 05 didn't have the 8yr/80,000 mile powertrain warranty?  Or whatever they were offereing back then.

05's have the 7/70,000 so.. yes it is still under warranty, take it to the Jeep Dealer.... unless you bought it used and did not transfer the warranty.

Starting with vehicles built on or after October 1, 2003 there is a $150 transfer fee and the warranty is ONLY transferable to the second owner. The warranty for the third and subsequent owners is the standard 3yr/36mo. The second owner MUST transfer the warranty within 30 days to be valid.

calling john back in the morning. im the second owner but i didnt transfer the 7 70... didnt know. did get the 3 36 wich expired a few months ago. i was wandering more about the diffrences in the tj trans cases what year they changed and what changed about them

[LoneWolf]

I believe all TJ's are 231 except the Rubicons which have the 241, you might want to verify that with the dealer or Johns would know.

I know the part # for SYE didn't change in those years.  I believe all you need is a 231J that is 23 spline input.
