Re: NP231 Problems, '97 TJ
Hi Shawn,
Here what the chain looks like:

Look at your universal joints again for the telltale sign of rust,
indicating dry wore out bearings.

Re: NP231 Problems, '97 TJ
Search the net, there is a chain from a ford or a chevy? that fits the np231
and is stronger and bigger.

Re: NP231 Problems, '97 TJ
I don't recall any rust other than the normal surface rust on everything.
I'll check tomorrow in the daylight again to be sure. I saw the pic with
the chain in it and how it fit in there. How could it be rubbing anything?
Does it stretch? I did try it in 4wd earlier today and it seemed to act the
same way, with any pressure up or down on the shift lever causing a stronger
grinding sound. Man I just hope it doesn't explode like the one dude just
said his had done.
