Any chance this is the same for a '97 TJ?

83-96 XJ, so it's down to seeing if the parts cross.
I have an 03 TJ FSM but it's probably too far the other way.

I put it in 4LO in the snow, got a few feet, heard a noise, stopped and
put it back in 4HI. It whines in 2HI and I've got 91K on it. I'm due.
I don't think my mechanic wants to deal with it. He quoted me $1500.

BTW, since I don't like the sound of chain grinding in/out of 4LO, I
put the transmission in neutral, stop the engine, then shift the xfer
case. Let me know if this is a good idea or not.

4lo will make noises especially if the tires have any traction.
That's a part-time range. As for the whine, is the unit low on
fluid? If you remove the top plug the fluid should just be at
the bottom of the hole. If it's not then just add a bit of ATF
fluid to bring it up. Dexron-III (check with the dealership
to be sure)

I generally shift the transmission to neutral, stop motion, then shift.
Although my xfr is the quadratrack and you can shift it (very quickly)
between 4hi and 4lo while in motion. It just makes noise as the gears
mesh.

I looked at a Chevy S-10(they also use the NP231 t/case)factory manual, and
the interior breakdown appears identical, so the disassembly and assembly
instructions should be the same.
Some parts may be physically different, though, but since the service
manuals don't give actual part numbers you ought to be able to take the
diagram to the dealer and get what you need.
The problem I'm running into is that I need part # 49 in the 231 diagram and
there seem to be 2 versions of it based on the 8 digit number on the tag
rivited to the back of the case. Of course *everyone* has the one that
won't fit mine.
