I love the Internet! This morning I got a phone call from a guy in Norway who was having trouble with his 242 Transfer case in his Cherokee.
He was having trouble with it popping out of gear when backing up. This can be a really annoying problem when off road. He found my article about the NP242 and called to talk through his problem.
I think he had already diagnosed it as a shift fork problem. At least that is what we agreed he should look at next. I also suggested that for off road he might just want to swap for for a 231 and get an extra inch of clearance.
I am really glad I was able to help him talk through his problem.
