NP 231 like new again !
Included all bearings, seals, and retainers to rebuild the NP231J to like new. Downloading a service manual really helped with the disassembly and installation of the new bearing. Don't forget to put the new oil pump pickup screen in and don't panic, you will have some parts left over as this kit covers both the YJ and TJ changes through the years. This was the first time I have rebuilt a transfer case and it took me an afternoon with the only special tool needed was a blind hole bearing puller.

1987 Wrangler - Daviesmi
Installation Time: Afternoon
Worked like factory
The item itself fit and works well. The engineering from Jeep makes me hope I never have to take it off. Installation was not hard just remove the boot and pop it on. For me I put it on Jeep side first then slide the handle down.

Overhaul?
I would actually call this a bearing and seal kit. If it was labeled as that it would get 5 stars. I was mistaken by the description. An "overhaul" kit should include circlips as well. Had to buy them separate. Other then that, the bearings and seals are good quality.

1998 Wrangler - Hallow
Installation Time: Weekend
Great kit
Has extra bearings to fit the variations of the NP231. The only thing missing was range shift fork pads, but it has both variations of the mode shift fork pads. It would have been a 4 hour project but i had to buy another np231 from marketplace do to the range hub/input shaft gears being worn severely do to failure of the range fork pads. So it was ether wait a week for new hub, fork and input shaft or buy a used TC as range gears are rarely les than pristine. So it took most of the weekend. world be 5 stares if the range fork pads had been included and some instructions would have been nice too.
