6.) 5-1-10 Update

(Resurfaced flywheel ready for new clutch.)

( Transmission and NP231 transfer case reassembled and cleaned)



(Slip yoke kit install finished and new yoke centerline measurement is 3.800 inches.)




(New chain and short output shaft installed... This kit required the removal of the 2 needle bearing sets)





(Yoke center line distance to back of transfercase 9.800 inches.)

Well it's been a few weeks since my last posting so I thought I better give an update on the progress.... My last post I was working on putting in the slip yoke eliminator kit on the transfer case, that has been finished and cleaned up a bit... Bian Kaspick came over the other night and helped me finish the install...It was really a help to have another set of hands holding everything in place when putting all those parts back together..Thanks Brian..We ended up installing a new chain in the transfer case. The chain sprockets and gear sets looked to still be in good shape. The hard facing of the gears showed little wear so I left them alone. From the pictures you can see how much of a difference the new length is now from the old...The transfer case is now back on the transmission and the new clutch and resurfaced flywheel are both on the engine... The other night James and I married up the engine and transmission and it's ready to be put back into the Jeep....
