My 231 tailshaft snapped today in traffic. It didn't drop the rear driveshaft, so I put in 4hi and finished the trip. Wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm due for smog tomorrow. Don't want to hassle with PNO. Anybody have a shaft pulled out during an SYE install? Or a good deal on a full case? Thanks.

I don't have the parts you need. If you can do your smog next weekend I know where there are several at the Oceanside Ecology. I can give you a hand finding one and pulling it if you need. Saturday or Sunday is fine let me know. You may find a better option by then but if you don't send me a PM.

I think mine is still kicking around the shop from when I did my SYE. I will look.
Gotta find something else to keep handy to keep the homeless at bay though....
Maybe time to build the pinion gear mace we talked about earlier scott :beer:An XJ will always cost you less then any girl ever will, and you will always know when the spark is gone.Comment

Is this a point in favor of an HD output shaft?holes = cowbellComment

Thanks
All I can say is thanks, guys. Luckily I had a bad round of troubleshooting by myself at sunset. The tailshaft is fine. I grenaded the guts of my 35!!!! Now I can finally put in my 44 with disc brakes! Wow, an offer to help look for parts, and a guy willing to tear up his garage to look for a way to help. Forget the Jeeps, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!God forgives, rocks don't

I think you misread his post, Ron. He broke his tail/output shaft, not his drive shaft.holes = cowbellComment

Glad to hear it was the D35. New Process actually rated the NP231 at 1950 ft-lbs torque (IIRC), like 500 ft-lbs higher than their 205 (for comparison of a big, beefy, geared tranny). What normally kills the 231s (besides being run dry
) are driveshafts that are too long, shock loads, or rock hits. Other than those things, they're apparently bulletproof.
